Poland Extravaganza

My daughter is participating in a Geography Fair next week. She is focusing on Poland since we rowed Mrs Katz and Tush during the month of March. ("Mrs. Katz" is a Jewish woman who lived in Poland and immigrated to America.) Because my daughter is in kindergarten, it has taken a full month to complete our display. She does a little at a time.

A few weeks ago she created a map of Poland. The map took 4 days to complete, but we are very pleased with the results.

Day 1 - Making the salt dough, shaping it into the country of Poland and baking it.



Day 2 - Painting the baked Poland.




Day 3 - Painting the rest of the map - Defining water bodies versus land masses.



Day 4 - Labelling the map through copy work.



Now please don't be going and checking the map to scale!
