Drawing & Painting “World Heritage (UNESCO) “

Montessori cultural education includes geography and history. Whether it is a place the child visited on a trip or something found in a picture book or on Internet, drawing a picture of what she or he learned is a good idea.

An explanation of Montessori education

I recommend to learn geography and history at the same time through “World Heritage(UNESCO)”. It is necessary to explain what a world heritage is, however, to put it very simply so that it is easy to understand for younger children, it is “an important place that everyone has decided to take care of”. If language skills are around 6 years old, it is OK to even explain what UNESCO is.

As of 2023, there is a total of 1157 World Heritage sites on earth, including 900 cultural, 218 natural, and 39 combined sites. It does not have to be a place the child has actually visited. You can show pictures of representative World Heritage sites and choose the place the child is most interested in, or choose the place closest to home on a map, or anything else that captures his or her interest is fine.

The image is a painting of the virgin forests of Shirakami Sanchi, a World Heritage in Japan. I have never visited there.
