Are the Caribbean islands on it?

No. The map shows the European Netherlands, its twelve provinces; Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba are on the map of Central America and the Caribbean.

Can I mark the capitals?

Yes — tick “Mark the capitals” for each provincial capital, with Amsterdam ringed as the capital and The Hague as South Holland’s.

What is drawn in grey?

Belgium and Germany, around it, are drawn pale as neighbours.

Do all twelve names fit?

Yes. With the names, all 12 provinces are named inside their borders on A4, US Letter and A3; even Utrecht and Flevoland need no leader line.

Is there a numbered worksheet?

Yes — “Numbered, to write the names” numbers the 12 provinces on the map, from 1 Friesland to 12 Limburg on A4, with a list to fill in and the answers on page two.

Is anything uploaded?

No. The map is made in your browser. On the free plan a small line with our name is printed at the foot of the sheet.

Example

Example: the 12 Dutch provinces on A4, blank, with the capitals and as a worksheet

A teacher at an English-language primary school in Eindhoven prints the default sheet for a topic on the Netherlands: A4 upright, the 12 provinces outlined, Belgium and Germany pale around them. “With the names” fits all 12 inside their provinces on A4, US Letter and A3, so no name needs a leader line.

“Mark the capitals” adds 13 dots: one per province, plus Amsterdam ringed as the capital of the country, in North Holland beside Haarlem.
“Numbered, to write the names” gives two pages: the map numbered as in the table with a list to fill in, then the answers. On US Letter the order shifts slightly (4 South Holland, 5 North Holland).

No. on the A4 worksheet	Province	Capital (a dot with “Mark the capitals”)
1	Friesland	Leeuwarden
2	Groningen	Groningen
3	Drenthe	Assen
4	North Holland	Haarlem (Amsterdam ringed)
5	Utrecht	Utrecht
6	Flevoland	Lelystad
7	Gelderland	Arnhem
8	Overijssel	Zwolle
9	Zeeland	Middelburg
10	South Holland	The Hague
11	North Brabant	's-Hertogenbosch
12	Limburg	Maastricht

netherlands-map.pdf, one A4 page. The pupils’ usual slip is North Holland: its capital is Haarlem, not Amsterdam, and The Hague, seat of the government, is South Holland’s.

How it works

Pick a style: blank with the borders for a quiz, the outline only for drawing, or with the names.
Tick “Mark the capitals” to add a dot for each capital, and choose the paper.
Press Make PDF and print; the lines are vector, so they stay sharp at any size.
