United States in a child's hands
United States: State Boundaries (50) is a pack of 50 sheets, each with a black outline map of the United States, state boundaries drawn in and no place names written on it. Alaska and Hawaii appear in small insets on the sheet. Nienhuis gives paper as the material, white as the colour and indoor use as the place of use. The child works with one sheet at a time, and the 50 sheets allow the work to be repeated; the pack measures 44 × 28 × 1 cm and weighs 600 g. For ages 3 to 6.

Introduces children to the concept of states and boundaries while developing spatial understanding of the United States.
Fine Motor Skills

- 1Introduce the map by tracing the entire United States outline with your finger, moving slowly and deliberately
- 2Select one state with a distinctive shape (like Texas or Florida) and trace its boundary three times
- 3Invite the child to trace the same state boundary with their finger, then with a dry-erase marker
- 4Place tracing paper over the state and trace the boundary with pencil
- 5Compare the traced shape to the original, discussing what makes this state's shape unique
