Charlotte Mason had a very clear plan for teaching Geography to children, beginning in the very early years of their education, and modelling land forms in a tray of sand was one of the ways in which she had her Form I students build their knowledge in this area.

Not only is modelling land forms in sand a fun and creative activity, it is also academically rich with benefits for the child learning about God’s vast and intricate creation, and in today’s session Rachel North sets out to demonstrate this alongside her own two students.

Join Rachel and her children as she explains the benefits of incorporating sand modelling in ones geography lessons, shows how relevant it is to learning Geography through maps, and lays out exactly what equipment you’ll need to get started.
