Who this list is for
Mapmakers aged 11 can use this scratch art project to create a detailed imaginary map poster. Ready-made scratch-art paper replaces homemade coatings and messy paint.
How to use this list
Plan landforms, routes, labels, and symbols on an imaginary map planning worksheet with pencils and erasers. Use the ruler and compass with safety point cover for measured borders or circular features. Transfer the plan to a scratch-art paper sheet using wooden scratch styluses, working from broad areas to fine details. Add labels with fine-tip metallic markers or a white gel pen, then mount the finished map on black cardstock with glue sticks.
Common mistakes
Do not press hard enough to tear the scratch-art paper. Avoid beginning without a plan, since erased scratch marks cannot be put back. Keep the compass safety point cover on when it is not being used, and test marker colors on a spare area before labeling the final map.
