I've created that map based on Montessori websites for my 17 old months baby. He reads continents (not so clearly yet:). This is great activity for a baby. Eaton is enjoying putting names of the continents on the board. First simple map with outlines only. We will use that board for teaching oceans, animals of different lands etc.. I plan to create more of these maps for each continent. This way is more affordable than buying maps from montessori websites. I did consider doing that before but I changed my mind. Eaton likes that sound when he is pulling cards from the board and he has a lot of different nobs puzzles he enjoys.

I've started collecting some stuff like: boxes, bottles, scraps of color papers etc few months ago. That big foam came with a joystick my husband bought for himself and I kept that. But you can buy alternative in craft store. They are foams for flower arrangments that work pretty good too.
And yes, I cut these Islands by myself. It's very easy project but time consuming. It took me about 3.5 hours with printing, cutting laminating and gluing.

Martusia, This method of yours is fantastic. Karma to you. Can you please tell me what it is you use for the words to stick on the board?
Ever since we've returned home from visiting family in London a couple of months ago, I've been trying to gather material to teach my son where his grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins live. A month ago I ordered a world map wall decal to put on his bedroom wall (we plan to do this tomorrow). I am hoping that it'll will help him to start recognizing different places and continents...

Thank you Rugrat, And I have a great idea from you! Thanks so much for sharing.
The dots are velcro. I bought them in Walmart in sawing section. You can buy circles or squares. I prefer circles as they are smaller. I hope that help.

Arnie2009 These are Golf Tees I bought in Walmart: sport section for about $3. There were 90 of them ( hardwood), plenty to create many of these activities!  I introduce that activity at 17 months but I think he was ready about 16. He was always banging on something with wooden hammer. But at that time I would probably need to hold a golf tee for him. At 17 he is totally enjoying it independently.
