Oh. My. We have been blessed to try out an awesome new resource called WonderMaps from Bright Idea Press! With this program, you can print over 350 maps, ranging from world, regional, historic and state focus, each customized with the details of your choice. It is so much fun to use and very user friendly. The possibilities of use with this program are endless. Not only do the producers provide an list of several creative and exciting potential cross-curriculum uses, but the system also coordinates with both
The Mystery of History and All American History curriculums.
This year we are using Veritas Press' Old Testament and Ancient Egypt Series and I can see many opportunities to utilize WonderMaps to augment our study. Also, we are currently reading Little House on the Prairie as part of our night time ritual. I printed each child a map of the "Heartland" of the United States. I had them color the states that the Ingall's family have traveled through. They had so much fun with this and it helps bring into focus the reality of the distance and struggles of the Ingall's journey.
So, so many fun and creative possibilities! You can learn much more about this incredible educational resource by checking out the following sites:
