I am homeschooling my two daughters this year (twins, age 12) and I really want them to learn geography. I ordered these puzzles (Europe, Asia, South America and Africa) to help make the process more fun. It worked! They love doing the puzzles and are learning to understand the geography of the world. We play games with the puzzles, like closing your eyes and someone removes one piece and the others have to name the missing country. So fun and educational

This is a wonderful educational activity. I call it an activity rather than a toy because I view it as equally educational for adults as for children. Most adults (myself included) are sadly ignorant of the layout of the world in which we live. This is a wonderful way to correct that. Even if we had learned this in school, say, thirty years ago, things have changed significantly since then. It is more and more important to know about this world as we live in an increasingly global community. I, for one, want to know where all the countries that are mentioned in the news are, no matter how small or insignificant (for the moment) the country may be. Thank you for creating a well-designed, well-executed, enjoyable way to learn geography! First-rate in every way.

My 8 year old has always been fascinated by geography. She has learned all the US states and we have now moved to helping her with Europe before we move to the rest of the world. Anyway, she learns a country a week and thus, when this puzzle arrived, she was thrilled.
The puzzle is brightly colored and well constructed. What a great way to learn about other countries and their locations. We plan to purchase other Geo Puzzles as time goes on!
