Floor State Map Puzzles - Great Teaching Tool For Geography Fun.

Being a homeschooling mother of two, forces me to stretch my brain muscles and find ways to keep learning interesting and fun; for both myself and my toddlers as well!

Such was the case when it came time to teach my four year old the states and capitals of the U.S.

With the aid of books and flash cards, I was pretty effective at helping her memorize the state names and their corresponding capitals.

Nevertheless, It was still my mission to bring the states to life for her. And since most children seem to retain information far better when they use their sense of touch in correlation with their sense of sound and sight, I thought what better way to stimulate those senses, than by purchasing a floor state map puzzle.
