Your continent boxes are wonderful! I have never seen better ones.
what a wonderful idea!
such a great way for the kids to learn through play.
where did you find everything ~ the coins, etc. any tips on creating these continent boxes?
thanks! warmly, nicole
Phyllis~ Thank you, that is such a sweet thing to say. I need to get over to your blog and add my link.
Nicole~ Thank you. I really need to go back and edit this post to include that information. I didn't spend that much money on the boxes. Most of the items were gathered from around my house, and asking friends and family for help. Amazon, Target, and Cost Plus helped out also!
Where did you get the Children of the World cards? You have a really nice collection for your boxes, and the ocean box is a neat idea, too.
Debbie~ Thank you so much! I bought the cards from Amazon, but it looks like they don't have them right now. They are called ROYLCO Kid Around the World Flashcards. I did a quick google search, and I only found them available here

I'm sure other places carry them also.
Thanks for looking that up for me. I'll check that link.
