Globe of the Continents
Price
The Coloured Globe, also known as the Globe of Continents and Oceans, is a key Montessori material designed to introduce children to the geography of the Earth, fostering child development in spatial awareness and cultural understanding. Found in many Montessori schools, this material features a spherical globe with each continent represented in a distinct color, helping children visually and tactilely differentiate landmasses and water bodies.
The Montessori directress presents the coloured Globe of Continents and Oceans, demonstrates how to handle the globe of the world, and guides the child in identifying continents and oceans. The child is encouraged to explore independently, tracing their fingers over the globe to build a concrete understanding of the Earth's layout.
This activity aligns with the Montessori philosophy by using hands-on learning to spark curiosity about geography, cultures, and the interconnectedness of the world. The Coloured World Globe is an essential tool for creating a foundation for more advanced studies in geography and global awareness.
