Montessori Continents and Oceans Printables for Preschool Through Early Elementary

February 6, 2019 By Deb Chitwood Leave a Comment

The Montessori geography curriculum is brilliant and helps even young children begin to understand concepts such as continents, oceans, and countries. Every Star Is Different has some wonderful Montessori geography materials, giving hands-on activities for continents and oceans that are perfect for preschool through early elementary!

Disclosure: I’ve been given a copy of these materials to review. My opinions are honest and my own. This post contains affiliate links (at no cost to you).

I’ve loved all the materials I’ve used from Every Star Is Different. The bottom of the page for the Montessori-Inspired Continents Bundle has links to all the Every Star Is Different continents and oceans packs.

HERE ARE THE FABULOUS CONTINENTS AND OCEANS MATERIALS AVAILABLE FROM EVERY STAR IS DIFFERENT:

My 5-year-old granddaughter, Zoey, and I have only done 3 activities with the printables so far, but there are so many more we’ll enjoy doing in the future!

MONTESSORI-INSPIRED CONTINENTS AND OCEANS PRINTABLE PACK BUNDLE

The Montessori-Inspired Continents and Oceans Printable Pack Bundle:

Includes a variety of continent and ocean printables to help children master concepts through multiple ways of learning
Emphasizes continent colors and shapes
Provides opportunities to learn about oceans and where they are located

World Puzzle Map with Montessori Continents and Oceans Cards and Labels

World Puzzle Map with Montessori Continents and Oceans Cards and Labels

I used two parts of each 3-part card for continents and oceans from the Montessori-Inspired Continents and Oceans Printable Pack Bundle. I don’t have room on my shelves for a traditional-size Montessori world map. I do have a few different small puzzle maps along with this 2’x3′ world foam map puzzle with 54 pieces. It’s a bit more challenging than you’d think, so it’s perfect for children who already know their continents. I especially like that I can focus on animals of the continents along with a variety of concepts.

For this activity, the child simply matches the continent cards and labels along with the oceans cards and labels. I didn’t use the control cards because of space limitations and because the oceans are already printed on the map for the child to check. The continent cards are easily checked by continent shape. This is an especially fun activity for two children working together or an adult and child working together.

Using Antarctica Unit Printables for Grammar Work with Simple Antarctica Sensory Bin

Using Antarctica Unit Printables for Grammar Work with Simple Antarctica Sensory Bin

We did a fun sensory and grammar activity using one of the printables from the Montessori-inspired Antarctica Unit Printable Pack Bundle. We used the grammar parts of speech symbols I had purchased int the fall along with the Grammar Invitation to Play and Variation Cards from the Bundle. I made a small version of our Antarctica sensory bin with water beads and “icebergs.” I always use distilled water and dehydrate/rehydrate the water beads to use them over and over again. So it’s easy for me to remake a sensory bin.

I used some animals from the Safari Ltd. Antarctica TOOB to make actions for Zoey to produce with the materials. For example, we had “small penguin jumps,” “small penguin swims,” “small penguin eats,” “cold ice melts,” “big whale jumps,” “big whale swims,” and “big whale eats.” Zoey had a lot of fun with this!

Working with Classifications of Antarctic Animals

Working with Classifications of Antarctic Animals

Then we worked with classifications of Antarctic animals. I love that the Antarctic Bundle includes definition cards for each classification. The definition cards are perfect for elementary-age children. For younger children, they’re nice as headers and for the adult to have all the information immediately available! Zoey really enjoyed classifying the animals of Antarctica. She especially loved that the types of mammals and birds were so long that the cards went off the rug. Zoey had fun seeing which classification ended up with the most cards.
