Did You Know About My Daughter's Mini Egypt Map?

Did you know about my daughter's mini Egypt map?

This is a small version of a map that she began working on a couple of weeks ago. It is a small map to show the topography of Egypt. Though she had a good time with this one, it just wasn't the same as our edible map !

She began with a litter pan. She filled it with potting soil.




Then she made a space for the Nile. She lined it with foil.



Next she layered the outer edges with sand. Last, she placed grass seed in the soil next to the "Nile" to show where the fertile soil lay. Once a week, she "floods" the Nile.



And now, she has grass growing next to her "Nile".
