Get a large map of the world or of the United States. You can either tape it to your child's wall or roll it up for easy storage. Each time you take a trip, mark the place you visit with a sticker on your child's map. You'll have fun tracking where you've been and where you'd like to go. Talk about how far these places are from where you live. If a parent has to travel on his or her own, this is also a good way to help kids visualize where they are.
Materials Needed: A map of the world or the United States, stickers
Ages: 3-6 year olds
What a super activity for the whole family!
