Either way, I am proud. And yes, we are planning to laminate and frame it.

I believe that this is the Montessori puncher:

I've seen DIY versions using a toothpick.

What a cool idea, though. I didn't know that they used the puncher for a project like this. I'm pulling DS4 from his Montessori program to homeschool next year and I've been trying to think of some fun things to do with geography. Totally stealing this idea...
