Oceans Control Map in a child's hands
The labeled control map for the Puzzle Map Of The Oceans, printed in English. It is the reference a child turns to after laying the oceans out, and it is worth pairing correctly, because the catalogue also carries a control map for the Seas and Oceans puzzle map, which is a different map with different pieces. The unlabeled version and the printed labels are sold separately. Every piece on this map is water, which is why the puzzle map it belongs to has blue knobs throughout.
Geographic Awareness
Builds understanding of Earth's major water bodies and their spatial relationships to continents.
Language Development
Introduces ocean vocabulary through clear labeling, supporting reading and geographic nomenclature.
Visual Discrimination
Develops ability to distinguish between different ocean boundaries and their characteristic shapes.
Global Perspective
Fosters understanding of Earth as an interconnected system of land and water masses.
How to present it
Place the Oceans Control Map on a table or mat at the child's eye level. Have a small pitcher of water and blue cloth nearby for introductory sensorial connection.
- 1Invite the child to feel water with their fingertips, then dry hands
- 2Present the map, tracing the outline of one ocean with your finger while naming it slowly
- 3Invite the child to trace the same ocean while repeating its name
- 4Continue with 2-3 more oceans in the same lesson, depending on the child's interest
- 5Play a simple game: 'Can you show me the Atlantic Ocean?'
3 tips for parents
- When reading ocean-themed books, reference the map to show where the story takes place
- During bath time, discuss how bathtub water connects to Earth's oceans through the water cycle
- Look for ocean names on food packaging (Pacific salmon, Atlantic cod) and locate them on the map
