🌍 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide

Outline cards challenge children to recognize continents without relying on color cues. This skill develops after extensive work with colored map puzzles and flash cards. Children ready for outline work can identify Africa's distinctive shape or South America's orientation without needing to see the continent colored yellow or pink.
