South America in a child's hands
Fifty political maps of South America, showing the countries. Twelve countries and two very large ones is a manageable set: a child can learn all of South America in a way they cannot yet learn all of Africa or Asia, which makes this the continent to finish first. Finishing one continent completely is worth more than starting four. Paper with laminate, for ages 3 to 12.

This map is designed for children ages 3-6 years old, following the Montessori geography curriculum for early childhood education.

The map displays clear country borders and the outline of the South American continent. It shows all 12 independent countries and French Guiana, providing a complete political representation of South America.
