Continent boxes

Continent boxes are one of my favourite Montessori pieces of equipment. They are fun to put together and a great way to bond and create fun lessons with your children. But before we get into how to use them we need to start looking at how to create one and what exactly you need inside your continent boxes.

Earth has seven continents: North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Antarctica. This 7 continents necklace is a fun craft project to help teach the world continents.

Asia is quite a big continent to cover. Many countries are represented, so you could conceivably have a huge variety of goodies for your box. I looked on Ebay and various other sites that sell more oriental type trinkets and such. I could have bought a lot more but needed to watch the budget.

One of my most favorite parts of the Montessori Primary classroom is the geography area. In particular, I love the continent boxes. Continent boxes (or drawers, or bags, or folders, depending on your set-up) contain items and pictures from each of the 7 continents on our earth. Each continent has it's own box (or drawer, or bag or folder....you get the idea, right?). My classroom is the newest one in our school and so I am slowly adding materials to it. This coming year I am planning to…
