Scratch map – Geography for kids

Scratch Map is an interesting way of teaching geography to kids.

Out of the box you have a good-sized world map.  Every week I try and teach the children about the Capitals or each country.  And if they get it right they can scratch off the gold foil – the edge of a coin will do.

Yes it’s low-tech, but it’s something we do together.  And it’s not a computer.

The Scratch Map costs £14.00 plus postage.

Alternatively, if you are a Globe trotting Phileas Fogg type then you can use it to catalogue all the places you have visited across the world.  But lets take stock here.  This is a kids toy!

There are not to many Cosmo-World-travellers that are going to regal their dinner guest with the latest trip to Namibia and then whip out the My Scratch Map and say “that’s another one off the list”. Get Real.

Dimensions of the scratch map

The My Scratch Map is 81.9 (W) x 58.2 (H)cm’s, which is approx 2.5 rulers by nearly 2 rulers.

It is also supplied in a protective tube
