Top Global Pinterest Boards to Teach Your Children About the World

Top Pinterest Board to Teach Your Child About the World from The Educators' Spin On It
The Olympics are one of the best times to teach your children about the different countries of the world.  It’s a moment in time where they can watch and see the flags and faces from countries everywhere.  It’s a teachable MOMENT!
Are you thinking where do I find Books, Activities, Crafts, & Recipes about the World?
Don’t worry we’ve got your covered!  We’ve been reviewing some of the top websites and pinning the best activities for kids on our Pinterest Boards just for you! We’ve listed our favorite World Culture Boards for Kids and included a few of our own! It’s so important developmentally for your child to celebrate and discuss diversity and explore our child’s place in the world through play.

Learning About the World with the Olympics

Here are some of our favorite Pinterest Boards about World Culture for Kids

  • Bilingual Babies and Geography– A collection of activities and resources for teaching about Language, Culture and Geography.
  • Summer Projects to Make and Do– A Collection of Activities that are summer themed including Olympics!

 
  • India Cultures and Hindi Language – A Place to find resources about India
  • Russian Language and Culture – A place to find resources about Russia
Here are the two Boards that Glittering Muffins along with 12 Bloggers, including The Educators’ Spin On It, share ideas and resources on as they Travel  Around the World in 12 Dishes in 12 Countries. Our children see maps, flags and books. They see postcards and maybe they see films about the world, but let’s really bring it to life through food! Taste and smell don’t often get explored, we think this would be wonderfully fun and interesting for you and your children.
Not only is it an exciting and different way to learn about cultures, but cooking with children brings so many opportunities for learning- math, science, literacy, language development, and even geography! Plus cooking creates lasting family memories and something yummy to enjoy! Come join the FUN!

Take a Peek at How to Create Olympic Games at Home

We believe in the power of raising globally aware children and we make a point to allow our children to experience other cultures with food, art, crafts, music, geography, presentations, and more. In addition to raising globally aware children, both of our families have chosen to raise our children to be bilingual speakers of another language.

Here at the Educators’ Spin On It we address many cultural topics and educational activities that can be adapted to the language you speak with your child. Although we are experts in Russian and Indian culture, we also teach our children about many other countries and languages as well. Whether you want to learn more about our cultures to teach your children or are interested in raising bilingual kids too – we hope you are inspired!
We invite you to visit our Around the World  page

    This is a great resource! I'm watching the opening ceremony as I surf right now. I'm recording it so we can all watch it tomorrow night for a family fun night. I may have to pair it with something from your pin boards. Thanks!
