Montessori geologic time cards are a fun and educational tool that will help children learn about the history of the Earth in an engaging and interactive way.
This set of cards features a hand drawn illustration of the Earth during each geologic time period, from the formation of the planet to the appearance of humans. Each card represents a different period of time, and includes information about the geological and environmental changes that occurred during that period.
These cards are designed to be used in a variety of ways, allowing children to learn and explore at their own pace. They can be used as a matching game, where children match the card to the correct time period on a timeline. They can also be used as a memory game, where children try to remember the order of the events on the cards.
