National Geographic’s free MapMaker Kits are just too cool (ESPECIALLY when you order a nice, beautiful, laminated map via Amazon, and then notice that the approximate ship date is in… December???? WHAT?!?).
Nat Geo offers a couple of options here. You can either download the mega-gargantuan-humongous-colossal-sized maps (which I have not yet done because I did not know where in the world we would put the things, although – come to think of it – they would make really great floor puzzles), or download a much-easier-to-put-together tabletop map (now we’re talkin’!).
