Land and Water Form Trays – 12 Trays

Inclusive of all taxes

Land and Water Form Trays The Geography Land and Water Form Trays set consists of 12 three-dimensional models that accurately represent common land and water formations. Each tray features a distinct landform such as Lake, Island, Strait, Isthmus, Peninsula, Cape, Delta, Cove, Bay, Gulf, Promontory, and River. These models are thoughtfully designed with realistic contours and a smooth finish to hold water, allowing children to sensorially observe and understand the relationship between land and water. The land portions are painted in brown and the water areas in blue, in line with standard Montessori color coding, providing a consistent and clear visual distinction. This hands-on material serves as an ideal introduction to physical geography, offering tactile and visual learning opportunities.
