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.

Re: I made this USA toothpick map
I want to do this.
But I am also going off on how it would be fun to make a series of them for how the contry grew and and flags and stuff changed. But that would be way way too much, very cool but too much. How long did y'all spend making this? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

About an hour and a half total after purchasing supplies. it took me a little more an hour to do the state flags. About 15-30 min to cut and paste and cover w packing tape. I don’t habe a label maker unfortunately
