Map and Flag Study

Our continent study usually starts with maps. This is my poor man's version of Wooden Puzzle Map (Montessori). My son loves working with puzzles so I painstakingly made this one for him.

Then we work with flags. Since I can't seem to find a cork-board so we can pin our Europe Pin Flags, we used plasticine to let our flags stand on the map :)

Here's a closer look of his work.

We also worked with the European Flag Nomenclature Cards. He liked identifying the flags of the countries where we have lived and visited.

I asked him to pick three flags he like the best so we can paint them. He chose the flag of Ireland, France and Serbia.

I love how he is serious when he is working.

Now for the freebies, you can avail this flags of Europe file for coloring purposes. Click the picture to download the file.

Culture/Lifestyle

These books are amazing! We totally love reading it as my son and I learn about families living in certain countries of Europe, learning about their countries and their lifestyle.

And with that, I also wanted to share photos I collected from the web, showing some of things you need to learn about Europe. Just click the picture for the link.

Landmarks

Here, I used my Landmarks of Europe materials. My son loves listening to my stories of how we travel on the mainland and the places we have been to as seen on the photos and on our learning materials. The rest of my Europe Continent Study materials can be found here.
