This versatile placemat will entertain children for hours while exposing them to geography, object recognition, and language and reading development. It has many features, including a map with 60+ colorful pictures and the associated Spanish words. Parents can show where family live, where the next vacation will be, discuss animals and exotic species, explain from where food originates, highlight the Spanish language and Mexican music and dance, and much more. The durable placemat features the map of Mexico with its 32 mainland states and bordering countries and water. The added bonus is that it is a color pad!
