The continent study has not been started for this continent yet but enjoy the landmark map and plant & animal cards while you wait!
A hands-on journey through the diverse landscapes and ecosystems of Europe
From alpine peaks to woodland meadows, this beautifully designed, double-sided learning set brings Europe’s geography and ecology to life. One side features a physical map of Europe with 18 natural landmark game pieces and matching photo-rich information cards, each filled with engaging facts and open-ended thinking questions to promote observation, storytelling, and geographic awareness. A control chart supports independent use, and everything stores neatly in a durable, beautifully illustrated box that doubles as a Montessori-style continent box.
Flip the board to explore a vibrant European Woodland & Alpine Biome, where students use 12 biome game pieces and 4 labeling arrows to explore forest types, alpine zones, tree lines, ecotones, and foraging safety. Through roleplay and thoughtful placement activities, children discover how animals and plants interact in this richly layered ecosystem.
This set includes 20+ open-ended lessons and activities designed to spark curiosity and foster meaningful connections. It comes with a full instruction booklet with clearly laid-out guidance—ready to use right out of the box, or as the perfect companion to the Europe 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!
