Maybe they don't want to stop with just colouring it in. Perhaps your students would like to use glue and glitter to really make it pop. No matter what they choose to do, this activity is guaranteed to bring loads of fun. For a big pirate-themed colouring session, we've got lots more resources that you can add into the mix. In 1852, the botany student Francis Guthrie had to colour a map of counties in England. He observed that four colours seemed to suffice for any map he tried, but he was not able to find a proof that worked for all maps. This turned out to be an extremely difficult problem, and became known as the four colour theorem. This printable map of Australian territories PDF is perfect for teaching kids about the geography. It’s a wonderfully versatile resource that can be used for children of different ages, groups and abilities. You may want to use this map in school, nursery or at home.

Some of our loveliest indigenous trees include the ‘breadfruit, eucalyptus, and banyan’. You can’t quite see them on this printable map of Australian territories, however it’s nice to give them some loving appreciation.

What are the benefits of colouring pages?

This map can be used to encourage children’s spatial reasoning skills and knowledge of Australia. Ask them geography questions that can promote their practise of map reading. You may ask kids to mark out places they’ve been and locate where they are. This map is also a fantastic tool for developing your child’s interpretation skills.

It’s important for children to understand that Australia isn’t the only country to explore, there’s the whole world too. This Map Of The World can help kids to identify different countries and places across the globe. It’s a wonderful way to show kids how diverse and exciting our planet is.
