A hands-on journey through the polar regions—where icy landscapes and living ecosystems collide

Discover the wonders of Earth’s southernmost continent with this beautifully designed, double-sided board set. One side features a physical map of Antarctica with 18 natural landmark game pieces and matching photo-rich information cards—each one designed to spark curiosity with stunning images, engaging facts, and open-ended thinking questions. A control chart makes it easy for kids to check their own work, and everything stores neatly in a sturdy, beautifully illustrated box that also doubles as a Montessori-style continent box.

Flip the board to explore the Arctic Biome, where kids bring science concepts to life using 8 animal and ice feature game pieces and 4 reusable labeling arrows. They’ll build food chains, label glacier and sea ice types, and act out the seasonal migrations, behaviors, and survival strategies of real Antarctic wildlife.

This set offers over 20 open-ended activities and games that encourage map literacy, classification, ecological thinking, and creative storytelling. It includes a full instruction booklet with clearly laid-out prompts to guide meaningful learning—ready to use right out of the box or as a perfect companion to the Antarctica Continent Study Curriculum by Hatching Curiosity.

Each deck features 27 different plants and Animals from the continent of your choosing. The backs of the cards name the continent and the colors match Montessori colors for each continent. The cards have the name of the animal, a fun fact to spark curiosity, and symbols indicating its biome, kingdom, diet, and special roles in their ecosystem. They can be used to explore the life on each continent, for copy work or writing prompts, to draw from when talking about symbiotic relationships, choosing an animal to do a report on or many other uses!
