REINFORCE NEATNESS.<\/strong> Cartography is a great way to learn paper-to-pencil skills. For example, students may have to make a word fit into a small or odd-shaped space, while still maintaining legibility. Students learn and carry these presentation skills into their other school work. \u00a0 Teachers are concerned about the disappearance of hand to paper skills– use our maps to reinforce these skills.<\/p>\n

\"Rey<\/a><\/p>\n

ENCOURAGE RESEARCH SKILLS.<\/strong> Students learn to use atlases, encyclopedias and online resources too.<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n

COOPERATION THROUGH TEAMWORK.<\/strong> Students can work in groups while using our maps, encouraging the all important skill of cooperation.<\/p>\n

\"bannerkids<\/a><\/p>\n

MORE THAN GEOGRAPHY.<\/strong> Our maps bring together geography and art skills, as well as providing a link to other disciplines such as math, literature and history. You can use our maps for a variety of topics and lessons.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FUN TO USE.<\/strong> Students love to color and use their imaginations. Because all our map products are fun to use, they make learning geography easier.<\/p>\n

\"HAWAII<\/a><\/p>\n

Kids learn about the WORLD! \u00a0And by doing hands-on work– LABELING AND DRAWIN IN DETAILS!– they REMEMBER!!!<\/p>\n

\"MISSOURI<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ALL GRADES, ALL AGES!<\/h2>\n

All of our hands-on activity maps are adaptable for K-12 use! Our maps are used in elementary schools, middle schools and high schools\u2013 all grades! Special needs teachers use our maps! We are proud that we receive requests from college professors and college student teachers who use our maps as examples of how to teach geography.<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n

Since our maps are desktop-size, (16 inches by 20 inches), students have enough room to easily label and color in details. Additionally, place names and geographic features are better learned by actually making a map rather than just studying one.<\/p>\n

When finished, each student\u2019s map will look different. No two students will write or color the map exactly alike. Each map will be unique to your young cartographers!<\/p>\n

Browse Our Maps<\/a> to see the large variety of activity maps we offer. \u00a0 Plus, you can view finished, colored versions<\/a> of our maps.<\/p>\n
