Summer Creativity Prompt #4: Make a Map to Somewhere Magical
For this one, I cut open a paper bag to make a big map. Since she is in a dinosaur phase, her magical world turned into a friendly dino hunt to find all the “nice” dinosaurs.
She added roads, castles, water, and little dinosaur stops along the way. Then we put paint on the tires of her Lego car and let her drive it across the map to leave tracks.
Sneaky learning win: this turned into map-making, storytelling, fine motor work, imaginative play, direction-following, and a little dinosaur science all rolled into one.
To keep the theme going, this would pair perfectly with a Dino book or an episode of Dino Dana on Amazon.
A paper bag, a toy car, some paint, and a little imagination can turn into a whole prehistoric adventure. 🦕✨
Would your kids make a map to dinosaurs, fairies, treasure, or somewhere completely new?
