A hands-on journey through the land, life, and ecosystems of North America

Explore the dramatic landscapes and vibrant biodiversity of North America with this beautifully designed, double-sided learning set. One side features a physical map of North America with 18 natural landmark game pieces and matching photo-rich information cards—each with fascinating facts and open-ended thinking questions to spark discussion and discovery. A control chart supports independent learning, and all materials store neatly in a durable, beautifully illustrated box that also doubles as a Montessori-style continent box for your geography shelf.

Flip the board to discover the Sonoran Desert Biome, where students investigate survival strategies in extreme heat through 11 animal and plant game pieces and 3 labeling arrows. From sorting warm-blooded and cold-blooded species to acting out adaptations, pollinator roles, and animal shelters, this biome board brings desert ecology to life through movement and play.

This set is packed with value—featuring over 20 different activities and games that encourage map literacy, animal classification, storytelling, critical thinking, and environmental awareness. Includes a full instruction booklet with clearly laid-out activities, games, and lesson ideas to guide meaningful exploration right out of the box or pairs seamlessly with the full North America Continent Study Curriculum by Hatching Curiosity for those who want to dig deeper.
