STUDYING FLAGS

Nikki really enjoys studying geography so I thought it would also be nice to study the flags. We made some flags using pentel pens and Nikki enjoyed it. He already knows a few flags of some well-known countries and I'm happy about that. Next week, we will add more flags until he will be familiar with most of the flags of the world.

Here are some photos:

The flag of Japan.

Italy's flag.

Flag of China.

Flag of Indonesia.

WORLD MAP PUZZLE

Nikki seems to enjoy geography a lot these days so I got him this World Map puzzle. He's learning so much and we're even tackling the continents and seas. We're not getting into too much detail, just an introductory lesson. I'm glad he's having loads of fun learning.

INTRODUCTION TO GEOGRAPHY

Nikki has been expressing some interest in geography these days. Since he has this atlas of the world, I thought it would be nice to start introducing him to some of the well-known countries. A month ago, he asked me to buy this globe and he loves looking for the countries there. He already knows Mexico, France, Italy, United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, China, India, Philippines, New Zealand, Africa and some others. I thought it would nice to slowly introduce him to the continents. I would ask him, "Where is the Eiffel Tower?" And he would reply, "In France" and I would continue, "Where is France?" And he would say, "In Europe." At least when we do it this way, he will be familiar with the continents and then later on, we'll study it in full detail.

COUNTRIES AND LANGUAGES

Nikki sure made good use of the globe I bought him the other day. Here are some photos of him while watching his Mickey Mouse DVD.

Here's Nikki and his globe.
