Painless Learning South America Map Placemat, 12 x 17 1/2 inches

Very useful especially now, with all political unrest. It shows the user the places of unrest on the map.

I used these placemats for educational purposes, not as placemats! However, I have wiped them off, bent them a lot when trying to get them out of their storage spot, and can speak to their durability, as the seal around the edges is tight. I use them to study World geography to help with my online Worldle and Globle games!! They are extremely helpful; you just grab one, rather than sifting through maps or going online all the time. They are very detailed and have a scale, also, to approximate distances. When my grandsons age a bit, I will put them on the table for placemats. I now own 5 of these, each a different region.

It’s always a risk to order something that doesn’t have a lot of reviews. I love it— very clear and durable! This passes the teacher and homeschool mom approval!

Every time i pass the map i point to it blindly and i'm learning where all the countries in Europe are by doing this.What country did i point to and what are the surrounding countries? It's a good way to learn.

This is probably the best $5 I've spent recently. The colors pop well and the writing is very legible. It's also very sturdy. The lamination is perfect, seeing as I was going to laminate it anyways. I'm wanting to hang this up in my Spanish classroom. I love that you can flip it over and almost quiz yourself as the back is blank. My only complaint is it's smaller than I expected. A lot of the mat is the ocean and not the actual continent. I understand that the size is stated online, I just completely overlooked it and that's my fault. Planning on making more purchases soon.

Amazing price, and it has a blank side on the back for self quizzing and learning. I am so happy to have found this.

Good conversation piece for anyone into maps or locations. Laminated were tou can use at the dinner table or just lounging around in the house.

I actually memorized all the counties of Africa using this simple device. It's a place mat in your face every time you sit down to eat. It inspired me to google a little about each country, enough to follow news of the day and understand how the countries came to be. And to maintain my knowlege, I just review a section of the map at every meal. Get it and get a handle on the second largest continent on the planet. It's also durable and easy to clean.
