This is a simple world map that is easy set to learn the 7 continents as they match up to the map of the Earth map in the pack. I wanted to do a lot with this but ran out of time to get it all done.

How we Use the World Pack and Activities & Printables

Read the Book Follow the Map

We read the book Follow That Map. It is great to introduce a few concepts about maps and parts of maps.

Read the Book and Looked at Map Symbols

It was perfect learning for my youngest. She got to find things on the keys and follow simple directions on the page. It was loads of fun and taught her about lots of map skills.

She liked looking for north, south, east, and west. If you are looking for a simple book about maps that is hands-on learning for younger kids this would be perfect.

Read the Book Maps and Globes

We read Maps and Globes (Reading Rainbow Book) and did a few map activities while we read the book.

Making a Playdough Map

The first activity that we did was make a clay-type map with playdough. Each of them got to add their own part to the map. Each had their idea of what should be on the map and what was important. All of the map parts came from the book.

Colored a World Map

We talked a lot about the world map and globes and flat maps. We colored a flat map of the world. We color the oceans blue and then the 7 continents.

Then we marked north, south, east, and west. My youngest used the letter N, S, E, and W from the Melissa & Doug Jumbo ABC Wooden Chunky Puzzle to mark the compass points.

The older two made their own compass on their simple world maps.

Colored a Continents with Book

The last activity we did with the book was to learn about different types of maps and how they can be marked. We look at the South America map and used that as a guide to color our maps.

  1. Thanks for sharing your resources! Really cool pack! I am doing ‘How to make an Apple Pie and See the World’. Your resources will come in handy. Thank you!

  2. Wow, thanks for such an amazing resource! Although I am slightly amused that New Zealand seems to be part of Australia on your map, we are a separate country 🙂

    1. I didn’t mean that to come across as a bad thing though- just saw there is an Oceania label on there! I love living Down Under but would love to come to America one day.

  3. These are great ideas for learning about geography Cassie! Thank you for the printables- you have an amazing talent and we are very fortunate that you share these.
