Putumayo Kids Presents: The World Culture Collection

We are big on world culture in our homeschool and family life.  We are blessed to live in a city melting pot, filled with cultural events.  We are also big fans of Putumayo Kids.  I discovered the African Playground CD at the library years ago and added many of the Playground series to our homeschool. We have already incorporated the World Playground Multicultural Activity Kit iinto our homeschool.  So imagine how delighted I was to discover the World Culture Collection.  The oversized coloring books are perfect for little hands and the sticker books, with reusable stickers, help cultivate creativity and storytelling skills in the little ones.  The coloring books and sticker books are ideal for workboxes and perfect for Montessori Continent Boxes.  We plan to purchase the entire collection!

All done and proud!
