Article description
The continents are laid out on the work surface and labeled with name tags. The child finds orientation on the globe or in the atlas. The sensory engagement with the location of the continents is playfully oriented, experimenting, moving, and controlling. Optical differentiation is promoted. The work with the world map is complemented by the story "How Geography Got Its Name" (BM 132). Axel Winkler tells about King Ptolemy and the Greek researcher Eratosthenes. Eratosthenes draws a "new" world map for the king. It is made clear that our image of the Earth developed slowly. The felt continents can be ideally combined with the plastic models of "Animals Everywhere on Our Earth." The animals are sorted and assigned to the individual continents.
