Description
The beginnings of Geography are sensorial in their nature. It begins with the concrete presentation of constructed land and water forms, depicting in concrete form the concept of land and water. This material helps children progress from the concrete representation of land and water to the abstract line on a map which means an island, lake or some other form of land and water.
