<\/p>\nWe have included links to some of the products and resources we have used with this activity. If you purchase via the links we may earn a small commission<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n For this months activity for Where in the World, we did some world map learning. We read two books with this the first is Maps and Globes (Reading Rainbow Books)<\/a> To start this off is a FREE Printable Mini World Pack!<\/p>\n This is a very mini world pack with lots of things you can do with it. This really is a mini pack. There is no tot pack with this one. <\/p>\n 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. <\/p>\n You can see below how we used this pack with the book: Maps and Globes (Reading Rainbow Books)<\/a> We read the book Follow That Map<\/a>. It is great to introduce a few concepts about maps and parts of maps.<\/p>\n You can also check out these geography board games and puzzles<\/a> to use with this World pack. Or maybe you need fun geography facts<\/a> for kids to check out.<\/p>\n 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. <\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n We read Maps and Globes (Reading Rainbow Book)<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n 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. <\/p>\n 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<\/a> The older two made their own compass on their simple world maps.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n Continents and World Vocab Cards, 3 Part Cards, Earth Size Sequencing, Earth Size Sorting, Write a Sentence about parts of the Word, World Maps with Trace & Color, Simple Blank Parts of the World Maps to color and label, Earth 10 Piece Puzzle (1 to 10, World Pocket Cart Vocab Cards, World Trace Beginning Sounds strips, World Trace the Word, World Write the Word strips, World Beginning Sounds Clip Cards.<\/p>\n![](\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=http%3A%2F%2F3dinosaurs.com%2Fwordpress%2Findex.php%2Fmaps-globe-learning-with-printables%2F&media=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.3dinosaurs.com%2Fimages%2Fblog%2F3-2014%2Fmapsglobes.jpg&description=Maps%20%26%20Globes%20activities%20with%20a%20FREE%20Mini%20World%20Pack%20-%203Dinosaurs.com\")
