The day after I received this book I used one of the ready made activities in my fifth grade classroom. The kids loved it! I like the fact that it incorporates visual, auditory, tactile and kinesthetics into teaching history. Also a great value - this book was twice the price at a local store.

Why just read about where people traveled? Make your own map of it! This is such a wonderful product, I wish there was one for World History so my children could visually follow Alexander the Great or Marco Polo on his journeys at younger ages.

This is not a difficult craft book, it is quite easy and well worth it. My 7 year old daughter loves it.

Great for kids and older Grandma's and Grandpa's who just want to review history, the part they didn't live, quickly before the grandkids start asking questions they don't have the answers to. Very informative.

I'm using this with 4th through 6th graders. My only regret is that there are not more books like it or more maps in it.

I have used this book with my 5th grade classroom for three years now. I am amazed at how much my students learn and love these maps. We just finished an integrated Social Studies/Language Arts Unit on Immigration. The 3-D map the students made of the US and focusing on Ellis and Angel Island added much to the study. The maps also give those students that are especially creative a chance to shine as well as give the students that are not a chance to create something lovely that might be a little out of the box for them. OH I just WISH THERE WERE MORE OF THESE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE these maps! And so do my students. I would like to see more resources like this from the people who made this resource - particularly on world history maps (6th Grade) and others.

This is a great tool for homeschoolers or those seeking to make a map hands on so the children can see and touch what happened in history.
My children loved making the maps and talking about them. This solidifies what we've already learned. Highly recommend!

The cover implies that the maps are in color, but they are not. The product is not enticing to 4 graders. It is more a coloring book and cut outs.

I homeschool my 10 yr old daughter and I bought this book to suppliment another curriculum, "History Pockets". My daughter has really enjoyed the 3-D maps we've made and they are easy to make and use. There is information to use as teaching guides with the maps as well as suggested research.
