I made this USA toothpick map
And it was super easy and my kids love it- just wanted to share
http://researchparent.com/united-sta...toothpick-map/ For the older kids who know their states already, it's fun to time them and see how fast they can do it and if they can improve on their time.

Re: I made this USA toothpick map
I wonder if I'll remember this when DD is old enough. It seems awesome!

It'd be fun to do all the continents with their countries, too!

Re: I made this USA toothpick map
Awesome - I am totally doing this . Like soon. . . maybe tonight and I'm using a file folder as the base so I can fold it
I need to help my older kids who forget where some states are and me - some of the states I forget unless I really use elimination

Re: I made this USA toothpick map
What's your plan for getting the toothpicks to stay up with a file folder instead of the foam board? Folding would be great!

Re: I made this USA toothpick map
I figured she meant gluing the foam board to the file folder, but I could be wrong.

I'm either gluing foam board to file folder or using corrugated cardboard. I hadn't decided I realized my dollar store has display boards that could be cut down to this so I'd not have to glue anything but my maps . Then I'd just need to buy better toothpicks and assemble I already printed my maps.

I poked the holes where the capitals are and dd1 made a set of capital flags, too, for a harder challenge.

Re: I made this USA toothpick map
Got mine all done and starting today
I ended up using report boards as planned and found sturdy picks at the dollar store. I forgot about the region trick but I also put answers ona file folder and made a second empty folded cardboard to keep my table from being scratched. Dh and I are also going to participate. I forget some of the eastern states and sometimes have to count states from WI to recognize them I may do capitols at some point but haven’t gotten there. Too lazy to make my own templates

Re: I made this USA toothpick map
Awesome! I just used my label maker for capital flags. Don’t know if you have one but it was super easy.
