What the child does

South America in a child's hands

Fifty blank outline maps of South America. The South American outline is the one children draw best, and the reason is the taper: it begins wide and ends in a point, so a child who gets the top right has already committed to the bottom. Filling it in afterwards is where twelve countries become learnable, because the shape is already secure. Paper and cardstock, for ages 3 to 12.

Geographic Awareness

Children develop understanding of continental shapes and boundaries through repeated tracing and coloring work.

Fine Motor Development

Pin-⁠punching and precise coloring within borders strengthen hand control and pencil grip.

Creative Expression

Open-⁠ended format allows children to add their own details, colors, and labels to personalize their geography work.

Concentration Skills

Completing detailed map work requires sustained focus and attention to boundaries and shapes.

Activity Guide

How to present it

Place one outline map on a tray with colored pencils, a pin-⁠punching tool, and a felt mat. Position at the geography shelf after the child has worked with the globe and continent puzzle map.

  1. 1Invite the child to trace the outline of South America with their finger, starting at the northern coast of Venezuela
  2. 2Demonstrate tracing the outline with a colored pencil, maintaining consistent pressure
  3. 3Show pin-⁠punching along the traced outline, working systematically around the continent
  4. 4Remove the punched outline and place it over a fresh map to compare accuracy
3 tips for parents
  • Display completed maps at child's eye level to celebrate their geographical discoveries
  • Connect map work to family heritage or travel experiences in South American countries
  • Use outline maps for cultural studies by adding flags, animals, or landmarks
