Learning Geography The Fun Way

I bought this map set  at our homeschool convention last May.  I finally dug into it this week. 

I bought it because we have been studying the medieval time period for history and I knew it would add a fun layer of learning.  

We really like it!  Sarah and Kyle both got into pinning the country flags onto the board, and we are becoming familiar with where the countries are on the European continent!

These maps come with most of the items you need to make the flag pins, capital city pins, waterway pins, etc.  But you do have to put the pins together!

I did all the country flags by myself but I am going to get the kids involved with the other ones!  I think they'll be motivated to help (at ages 14 and 11) because they really enjoyed doing this activity.

I certainly hope that Pin It Maps will be at our convention again, so we can buy another one for next year!


ps - When you buy your map, you go to their website to download the questions for your map set.  I laminated all of my pages so that we don't ruin them with spilled drinks or snacks!
