A hands-on dive into the land, life, and ecosystems of Oceania

Explore the vibrant geography and biodiversity of Oceania (or Australian continent+ pacific islands) with this beautifully designed, double-sided learning set. One side features a physical map of Oceania with 18 natural landmark game pieces and matching photo-rich information cards—each with engaging facts and open-ended thinking questions to spark curiosity and discussion. A control chart supports independent learning, and all pieces 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 explore the Great Barrier Reef Biome, where students learn to classify marine animals, act out symbiotic relationships, and explore the impact of coral reef loss using 14 game pieces and 7 labeling arrows. From understanding scientific classification to acting out coral reef food webs, this biome mat brings ecological concepts to life through movement and play.

This set is packed with value—featuring over 20 different activities and games that encourage map literacy, 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 Oceania Continent Study Curriculum by Hatching Curiosity for those who want to dig deeper.
