Allearia Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 My two sons are greatly interested in geography and I would love to make a 3d map with them. I remember making one of California in school and it was really cool. Has anyone made one of the united states? Or different continents so we could eventually do the world? I looked around as bit on google but was wondering if there was a really good one with details on several different maps so we could decide where to start. I would probably start with one and see how that goes before attempting more. Also an idea of size necessary for a good maps but not so big it will take up the whole house. Thanks!

ThreeBlessings Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I did this with my dd when she was in K. She had fun. As we studied each continent I basically just printed out a map, made the dough, she shaped the dough to the map outline, added major mountains and rivers by lumping the dough up and tracing a toothpick along the rivers. She painted it and we left it to dry. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
