This floor puzzle is a winner in so many ways! Because it only has 33 pieces, it can be completely by fairly young children - many four year olds will be able to tackle this puzzle, as opposed to many map puzzles that are only suitable for much older children. It is uncluttered with the continents and oceans, but not the countries, being labeled. It features attractive art of native animals on the continents and the bodies of water. This feature allows for extra, interesting discussion points about why certain animals are suited to live in certain places, and the child-friendly animal feature will help cement the location of the continents in your child's mind. To top it off, the pieces are extremely thick with a wipe-clean coating so the puzzle will stay looking great after many uses. Be sure to check out our USA Floor Puzzle for a similar puzzle featuring the states and capitals. Learning tip - a quick Google search for �€�continent song�€� will bring up a number of songs set to familiar tunes. Pick one you like and teach it to your children so that they can sing and point to the appropriate continents once they have completed the puzzle!
