This might be too advanced, but my granddaughter is 3 and knows all her states. I found a panel at Joann Fabrics of the united states. I mounted it on that stuff that you use to send quilted post cards. Can't remember the name, any how it has adhesive on one side, ironed it to a sheet of that, cut out each state, I know I'm crazy. used a blanket stitch on the edges, you can do that sitting in front of the TV. Got a thick piece of muslin and traced out the states, put velcro on the back, giant puzzle. She loves it. You could even make it a wall hanging.
