These fantastic maps are not
only fun to make, but they are a
great way to learn about your
state or country's terrain.  This
would be a great activity to
Step 1
Find a good picture of a Physical
Map.  Draw the outline of the state
or country you'll be making.
Step 2
Find some old magazines and tear
out some of the colors you'll use for
the map. (Substitute bright colors for
extra fun!)
Step 4
Tear up different colors of the
magazines and place them in the
right places on the map.  Using
different hues of a color and layering
really make the map look more
realistic.
Step 3
For younger children you might set
up a less messy.
Find the letters to make a title for
your map, or even add a map key
at the bottom.
  • Show children some different
    examples of maps, and how we use
    different markings to represent
    different aspects of the terrain.
  • Have them describe what the
    different colors on their map
    represent.
  • Why might it be helpful to have so
    many different kinds of maps (some
    depicting landforms, some rainfall,
    some population ect...)
  • Read in your bible how God made
    the lands and the seas.
