WonderMaps–A Review

WonderMaps (by Bright Ideas Press) is a customizable collection of over 350 different maps. With nearly endless possibilities, WonderMaps makes it easy to regularly integrate map study into a variety of lessons and make the most of every learning opportunity.


WonderMaps is designed with easy-to-use layers that allow you to enjoy great customizable features with just a click. Select:

  • historical or modern-day maps
  • outline, reference, political, or topographical maps
  • black-and-white or color maps
  • features including:  names, borders, rivers, cities, physical features, and graticules

WonderMaps includes:
  • 60+ maps of the world
  • 60+ maps of the USA
  • 125+ historical maps, including 25 biblical maps
  • The complete map sets from The Mystery of History vols. I–III and All American History vols. I & II

 

I LOVE how easy WonderMaps is to navigate.  In no time at all I was discovering all sorts of new maps and new ways to change the maps.  As a homeschool parent, I look forward to using these maps to supplement our learning in the near future.  My children have not yet discovered geography to the extent that I would like, but I am sure it is not long in coming.

 

As you can see above, this is a great supplement for The Mystery of History volumes.  I don’t use and have never looked into The Mystery of History (but I’ve heard good things).  I have looked into Tapestry of Grace though, and from my limited experience with that curriculum, I believe WonderMaps would also be a great addition to that as well.

 

 

 

Timberdoodle has many great homeschooling supplies and curriculum to add to your ever growing collection.  I hope you will check them out.  Some great examples are: their geography puzzles.  You might want to have a look at their free catalogue to find even more treasures in all subject areas.
