All Around with Professor Earthworm\u00a0includes basic labeling and coloring activities &#8212; namely locating continents and oceans and coloring the illustrations inspired by old maps of world explorers.<\/p>\n<h3>A World Activity Map PLUS A Whole Lot More!<\/h3>\n<p>At our online geography community website, <a href=\"http:\/\/cartocraze.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CartoCraze<\/a>, we are also providing a fun and interactive way to <strong>extend the teaching possibilities<\/strong> of this new map.<strong> \u00a0Introducing FREE BONUS THEMES!<\/strong> \u00a0Some our bonus themes include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Islands<\/li>\n<li>Mountains<\/li>\n<li>Deserts<\/li>\n<li>Rivers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What&#8217;s Included in the Bonus Themes?<\/h3>\n<p>Each theme contains a downloadable PDF file where we have sketched the general location of various physical features.
