World in a Box

This cool and creative kit is all about having fun with maps! It comes with a CD-ROM that’s crammed with digital maps, images, icons, flags, and other great stuff to use along with the fully-illustrated map-making instruction book. Plus, the box contains loads of super extras, including a magnetic inkjet sheet, map pins in a container, magnetic compass, protractor, pencil, and drawing compass. Kids can take advantage of all these tools, plus their computer and inkjet printer, to create some really fantastic projects. They can customize the color scheme and appearance of any map; make a calendar of decorated maps; produce a Tectonic Plates jigsaw puzzle; and plan vacations and trips. It’s geography, art, and computer skills all in one!
