When we started our continent studies, I did not have materials to use for continent boxes. I definitely couldn't afford the wooden map puzzles. My son, who suffers from a life threatening adhesive allergy could not work with toothpick flags, because of the adhesive used to put them together.
Needless to say, we've learned to be creative, while still following along with Montessori principles. Here is part one of our Montessori-inspired Study of Europe with free printables.

European Country Name Syllable Counting
Not all are included in our activity, just the ones that prove to be most difficult to pronounce.
However almost all countries are included in the printable.
Before the kiddos complete this activity on their own, we will review the names of each country several times.

European Desserts Money Match Up
The cards introduce the kiddos to different dessert dishes around Europe. They are asked to count the money it costs to purchase the desserts and match them up to the correct dollar value cards.
The prices of the treats in no way resembles their true cost. I have chosen to use currency from the USA, because that's what the kiddos are working on learning at this time.
