A Colourful World of Discovery Awaits
Open a window to the world for young minds with The World for Kids wall map from National Geographic – a vibrant, beautifully illustrated, and meticulously researched map designed specifically for children aged 7 to 12. This is more than a map; it’s an introduction to global thinking, a geography lesson that never ends, and a decorative piece that informs and inspires.
Perfect for classrooms, bedrooms, libraries, and learning spaces, this map encourages exploration, builds spatial awareness, and offers a compelling visual guide to our planet in all its diversity.
🌐 Designed for Young Learners
Intuitive Layout
Every country is clearly labelled and color-coded, with clean typography designed for readability by younger eyes. Continents and oceans are defined with contrast and balance to keep children engaged and oriented.
Flags of the World
Around the edges of the map, all 195 countries are represented by their official, full-colour flags. Each flag is paired with its nation’s name and presented in alphabetical order—ideal for reference, games, or educational exercises.
Winkel Tripel Projection
Say goodbye to distorted geography. Unlike the Mercator projection (which exaggerates landmasses like Greenland), this map uses the Winkel Tripel projection to provide a more realistic, balanced view of the world. This ensures that children learn geography as it truly is—not as it's misrepresented.
