Exploring the World Beyond Textbooks: Enriching Geography for Kids

Geography is so much more than those boring textbooks! I am so tempted and always skim through them… Then I remember how much more I love what we already have. . . Between all the travel and reading all the beautiful books, I must admit - geography is one thing I do pretty well 🤓 . With our Classical Conversations base, we always have maps out we are coloring or referencing. We might have a wall map in most rooms of our house. So all homeschoolers or are we just really weird?! . . These are some great non-textbooks I love to use with the kids and show them the world. Real people. Real places. Real stories. So much better than dry facts. . I’m my stories I have them all opened to show you inside if you want more info. They’ll all last you years. I see these as always-on-the-shelves books. There’s no outgrowing them. . Here’s the list: 📗Material World - Peter Menzel 📘Hungry Planet - Peter Menzel 📕Give Your Child the World - Jamie C. Martin @jamie_cmartin 📙Window on the World - Operation Prayer Resource @ivpbooks 🗺Awesome laminated placemat map - @classical_conversations . . I hope this list helps you dive in to more world-learning! And I’d love to hear what books I need to add to this collection 🌎🌎🌎
