Australian Map Collage

The Australian continent map collage was a project done by my daughter when she was at nursery school age (click on the thumbnail to see a larger view).

An outline of Australia was cut out of brown construction paper. You can use our outline here.

Matilda cut out various animal and fish shapes, as well as a tree and a "mound" for Uluru! She had great fun pasting these onto her map, and then adding little typed labels which we prepared on the computer.

Rather than cut out the shapes, you could provide photos or clipart. There are many appropriate images at the sites listed on our Australia links page.
