WonderMaps-Timberdoodle Review

 

 

I was so excited when I was offered the opportunity to review WonderMaps!!! Why? Simple, we love history, maps, and learning about places!

So what is WonderMaps from Bright Ideas Press your asking? It is a customizable Map program with over 350 different maps! The program has:

  • 60 + Maps of the World
  • 125 Historical Maps including 25 Biblical Maps
  • 60 + Maps of the US
  • Complete Map sets for The Mystery of History Vols 1-3 and All American History 1 & 2

The things you can do with WonderMaps:

  • Get Black and White or Color Maps
  • Outline, Reference, Political, or Topographical Maps
  • Get Historical or Modern-day Maps
  • Add Features such as: Names, Borders, Rivers, Cities, Physical Features, and more…

They are simply amazing! If you are looking for something to help with your current history program, or a way to help your child learn names. This is most certainly the program to use! It is so customizable that it makes it so easy.. You can turn on what features you want to use, and turn off the ones you don’t.

Like if you wanted to just have rivers and the names on your map you can turn all the other stuff off. That way your kids can learn just the rivers, and then when you went to test them, you would just turn the names feature off. Leaving just the rivers showing. How cool is that???
