This month’s Silhouette promo (begins tomorrow) is on all their specialty media like printable canvas, magnet paper, tattoo paper, foil, adhesive cardstock and more. My 2nd grade son is currently learning the 50 states in school. I thought cutting out a blank USA map on some magnet paper would help him learn his states quicker. Let me tell you…it is helping me learn too. Apparently my US geography sucks since my husband had to put the puzzle together initially. #geographyfail
In the Silhouette online store you can purchase the USA map for $.99. Then all you have to do it cut it out on the magnetic paper and find a magnetic surface to adhere them to.
We originally put ours on our magnetic wall but Isaac wanted to be able to have it on his lap.
So we picked up a cookie tray at the Dollar Tree. Perfecto. You can also write on the pieces or you can type in the state names before and print and cut.
Sneak peek….sale begins tomorrow! And…I will be giving away a Silhouette Portrait machine as well!
You are SO brilliant! My daughter at 2 1/2 yrs. knew about 80% of her states from the great wood puzzle by Melissa and Doug. My 5th grader is doing states and capitals and locations. I remember nothing and would have an even harder time without a name on the state! So sad! Anyway…I love the magnet US board!
That is a really good idea. I got kids placemats to help out with this stuff. The states also stay put unlike some of the state puzzles.
I seriously love this idea, Beckie!
Thanks, Girl! 🙂
I’m glad you like it, Sharon. I’ve never seen the placemats.
