This Giant Road Map is something anyone can set up in a zap! You’ll need only a few basic craft supplies and a bit of drawing skills. But trust me, your little ones won’t care too much about the prettiness of the road map, they’ll be rather thrilled to play with their little toy cars on a huge road map!
I simply unrolled a long piece of easel board paper onto a large section of the floor and drew a bunch of fun pictures, like houses, trees, play-ground, etc. It’s really simple!
