Map Makers — Draw Your World From Memory

Child draws a map of a familiar place—home, school, or neighbourhood—from memory, then checks it against reality. Builds spatial representation, symbolic thinking, orientation, scale understanding, and memory recall through practical cartography.

Free to do together whenever you like.

What you'll need

Set up with a large piece of paper and drawing supplies. Let the child choose a familiar place to map. They must work from memory—no looking at the actual place while drawing!

How it works

The 4-step guide, with what to look for at each step, is for signed-in parents.
