he study of biomes is an important part of the Montessori curriculum, as it helps children understand the diversity of life on Earth and the interconnectedness of all living things. Biomes are large areas of the Earth with similar climates and plant and animal life. With our new materials, Biomes Puzzle Maps, children can see how the Earth is divided into biomes, regardless of political borders. Our puzzles contain major biomes such as tropical rainforests, deserts, grasslands, temperate forests, mountains, wetlands, and tundra.
