The study of geography includes learning how people, products, and information move from one place to another. People all over the world travel everyday to go to work, go to school, and see relatives. Products like sugar and coffee are shipped from country to country.
Information is communicated via telephones, televisions, faxes, and computers.
Understanding movement helps your children see that people all over the world need each other for many things. Ages 2-3 Toddlers are expert travelers. In their attempt to learn what they can do and what the world is all about, toddlers climb over, under, and into nearly everything. They crawl, run, and walk around everything else. Let them play on wheel toys, wagons, and push and pull toys.
