Map Puzzle India

Map Puzzle India

The Montessori Map Puzzle of India is a beautifully crafted wooden puzzle map that introduces children to the geography of India in a hands-on, interactive way. The map features individually cut state pieces (resembling coins), each precisely designed to fit neatly together on the base. Children can remove and replace the pieces to learn the names, shapes, and positions of each Indian state. A corresponding worded control card provides visual support and helps children reinforce state recognition. Housed in a sturdy teakwood frame, this map encourages independent exploration and fosters a deeper understanding of India’s political geography.
