Maps and Cars

On Monday we learned all about maps; why we have them, what they are used for and what we can find on them. The kids really enjoyed looking at all different kinds of maps. Their favorite was a large folding map. The kids had a blast making their own maps to take home. They added rivers, roads, airports, parks, lakes and rail-road tracks.

On Wednesday we had a really fun time with our different car activities. 
We played on a big map that was on the floor. The kids had a great time driving their cars around and stopping at a hotdog stand, a farm and even Disneyland!

We also had a lot of fun driving our pretend car. The kids each had a turn to be the driver. They would look at our map and then decide where we would go.
These are the places the kids drove us to:
Boden- the lake
Kaeden- the desert
Livia- Disneyland
Madi- the jungle
Makayla- the ocean
Alivia- California
Thomas- the beach
Jason- the lake
Grayson- "a far Disneyland"  :)
Paytyn- the lake

We made sure to buckle-up and we even had a flat tire. Thomas fixed it for us and we were back on the road in no time. :)
