And also of the US?
My 3.5 year old has shown a keen interest in learning about places of the world lately.

I figured this would be a good forum for suggestions.

If you are a AAA member you can get national and regional maps for free at their office.

I got one from somewhere? and it has a link on it> doctorswithoutborders DOT ORG

Man, where did i get that? it must have come with something-- I checked the site out and dont think you'd be able to get a map from them. They've got some serious work going on.

 

[lauraess]

how about delorme dot com? They make All maps!

 

[lauraess]

I have a pretty neat USA map i got out of an October National Geographic , maybe you can find One they set aside at the library after they used the magazine?

 

[Greensleeves]

We have the ones from Walmart too and I love them.
They are huge and I like the lamination.
Sometimes you can get them at Sam's club too.

Sam's and Costco both sell a two pack with large laminated maps in them - one of the USA and one of the world.

And don't forget there are placemats with maps on them. My kids love those. Walmart always has em.

it's pricey but it's like 9'/11'
I think it is 149.00

I bought mine at WM during back to school time. Later they marked them down to $5.00 for the set. Very nice maps. My kids use them all the time.

I am seriously going to have to get somebody to go to Walmart for me and pay them for the stuff and postage here. LOL

We got a really bright and colorful world map on ebay, and got a big frame for it half price at JoAnns. Actually, I got the huge frame first, and found the map to fit it on ebay

I think it ended up being less than $20 total for map and frame

Someone here posted this link not long ago. You can print maps up to 7 feet wide. Haven't tried it yet but I guess you print out individual sections and then tape them up all together. They are not labeled or colorful, but I could see them being quite useful and fun, letting the kids label and color in sections, maybe add stickers, etc.

I bought a three pack that contained a large world map, U.S. map, and a large poster of flags of the world, at a home school store. But, I think it's a basic set they sell at teacher stores, etc. They are not laminated, but inexpensive and very cool.

I think the World map is about 4 or 5 feet across.
