Studying Europe? – Make a popsicle stick catapult!
We made some fun catapults today out of just popsicle sticks, tape, and one rubber band. It’s been keeping us busy for hours! This site has the project with very easy instructions and thorough photographs.

Free Continent Pin Map Supplies
Here is a wonderful place to print out your continent of choice: http://www.yourchildlearns.com/megamaps.htm
Below are the flags in a file you can print and cut. I just printed out two black and white continents and colored it in myself. I attached all the flags to one colored in continent via glue and laminated. I colored the other continent to match the first and laminated it WITHOUT the flags. I laminated the second set of flags separately and cut those out. Then I used sticky velcro for my son to attach the flags. See photos below each continent flag listing.
(As I make these my resource is the Usborne World Atlas, any left out countries are accidental, the continent of Asia will include Oceania. Australia will include Australia, New Zealand, Tazmania, and Papau New Guinea.)
As I work through the maps this year, I’ll add the files for each continents flags. I will also upload photos of the finished maps.
Here is an awesome blog post about making your own pin map without sticky velcro: http://thehomeschoolden.blogspot.com/2010/11/how-to-make-pin-map-of-europe.html
