Se7ven Review – The Amazing Scratch Map for kids

The Amazing Scratch Map for Kids from MapStudio… A Totally Cool GiveAway…

June 20th, 2014 · 3 Comments

We were sent a World Scratch Map to Review by MapStudio and we love it… Honestly this was instant happiness and we all loved it. This is a world map with a difference, it is a map that you have to interact with and go exploring… At first glance it is a silver map… but as you scratch away the surface a colourful map of the world full of details is revealed!!!

This sort of adventure begins with a dig in the old coin collection…

And you are good to go…

There is so much more info than “just a map” on here… but you have to find it.

Oceans and time zones…

Flags and facts…

I know this should be on the wall and eventually it will get there… but it has been on our kitchen table and my gang have all stopped by and scratched off this and that… and spent hours pondering…

We could think of a million uses for the Scratch Map:

    1. Countries we have been to…
    2. Places we would love to visit…
    3. Countries that friends live in…
    4. All the wonderful places that folk who stop by for dinner come from…
    5. Countries we have learnt about…
    6. Just the flags…
    7. Just the countries…

And the se7en + 1th…

  1. Countries all over the world where our followers can be found…

So far we have only impacted on Africa… but I have a feeling it won’t be long until our map is totally transformed and there will be very little left to scratch away…

We could say that this map is very educational and you will learn an enormous amount of factual facts… but instead we are going to say – we had a heap of fun with this map, it is just brilliant and it isn’t a quick afternoon’s activity at all… I reckon this is going to be the top goto thing to do as my kids realise just how much they can scratch off this map… little bit by little bit!!!
