When teaching social studies, I love 3D map making activities.⁠⁠Some easy-to-find materials you can use for 3D maps include:⁠☑️ clay or Playdough⁠☑️ food⁠☑️ construction paper⁠⁠When making 3D maps, be sure to have students incorporate things such as topography and water features. My former students made these 3D maps to how the land changes in each region of Virginia.⁠⁠For more hands-on social studies ideas, check out this week's video on Vestal's 21st Century Classroom's YouTube channel.
