Introduce children to the wondrous variety of landscape and life on Earth through these beautiful photos from around the world. Each packet contains 10 parallel images (e.g., an iconic vista, a parade, an iconic animal, a wedding, a market, a school) from one continent:

North America
South America
Europe
Africa
Asia
Australia (including Oceania)
Antarctica

We have three series available (10 photos per series; 30 photos total for each continent) so you can rotate the images in your geography folders to maintain interest.

The back of each card contains a color-coded image of the continent and key information about the photo.

We worked with AMI trainers to make these cards perfect in every way! Cards are approx. 8 1/2" x 5 1/2” and laminated with our sturdy, clinically-studied, non-toxic/food-grade laminate. All of our materials are Eco-printed in our rural New England office.
