World Map for Kids - LAMINATED - Wall Chart Map of the World Misc.

Great for my grandchildren

I bought 1 map for my grandson. The first one was nice with the world on one side and the states on the other. I bought two more so he could display both photos on his wall. They picture of the world is on both sides. I am disappointed because i wanted him to have both sides to display.

My three and a half year-old boy suddenly developed great interested in geography. He received for his birthday a puzzle map of the United States and learned very quickly the names of all of the States (he reads both uppercase-lowercase letters), so it was time to introduce him to a World Map.This World Map is the right size for him to carry around, which is what he likes to do. However, if your goal is to hang it on the wall it will be very hard to make it flat. I kept mine under consistent weights and it is still rolled up.The positives: Adjacent countries have very different colors. This makes it relatively easy for a young child to recognize and point at different countries, especially in "busy" continents like Europe, where many states are small. This was honestly a selling point for me as many another maps have similar shades of the same color for countries that are on the same continent (like all European countries are pink, all South American are green, etc), which is not was I was looking for as he already knew the continents.The Negatives: the font type used (some kind of handwriting style) is not the easiest to read for toddlers/beginner readers. I would have given 5 stars if they had used Arial or some other more common upper/lower case font type.Suggestions: on my map, the back side has the same map pictured at the front, but without labels for the countries. It would be nice to know in advance what the customer is getting, as it looks that other people got a map of the United States. I would also suggest to sell a map of Europe, many countries are so small that a dedicated map would be nice to have.

It is easy to see the location of U.S. States/world countries. The only drawback is the effort it takes to unroll the map and keep it flat. But once it is unrolled, it is a great help in finding places. The States even show the capitals and where they're located in each State.

Very readable and a different political map makes it great for teaching youth about social and political dynamics in the world

I got this map to use in my music classroom. It’s a little too small for students to accurately locate the country of origin for multicultural music.

This is a great product. My only complaint is that it comes tightly rolled up in a tube and does NOT want to flatten out, making it very difficult to get it to stick to the wall because it just wants to curl up. After trying many adhesive options, I finally went with 3M Command strips. It’s been holding to the wall for about 18 hours now, which is longer than it’s lasted with other adhesives.
