Fun, Educational Activities For Parents And Children

Children who receive lots of positive attention from the adults in their lives are more likely to develop a clear system of values and live a productive and satisfying life. Take a break from homework, housework, or wasting time and have some fun together! (There will be learning, too!)

Make And Learn - Topographic Maps


Have you ever looked at a topographic map?  Those are the ones with the squiggly lines running in circles all over the map.  The lines represent elevation and the circles are the mountains and valleys of the land.

But, you'll have a much deeper understanding when you make your own mountain and then map it topographically.  You will need modeling clay (you can make it yourself), dental floss, a ruler, two toothpicks,  paper and pencil.

Here are the instructions:
