Create coloring pages with MapMaker

[Kylie]

Have students color a map to demonstrate knowledge, plan a route, design a city, share where they've been or want to go... the possibilities are endless. Start by printing blank maps from MapMaker. Use the Black and White Outline basemap.

In MapMaker, you can choose an area and how much detail to show, then create a PDF or an image of the blank map. Learn how in this story: Print map coloring pages.

Studying places and where they are? Depending on the scale of where you are learning about, label them on a world map, a map of the United States, or even a map of a town or city.

 

Planning garbage routes for your town, or where you'd add a park? Use a map with your town's roads.

Making plans for a trip? Use a map of the place you want to explore to plan where you'd like to visit.

 

With a blank map from MapMaker as your canvas, you can create on a map customized for the problem your class is solving. Where will your colored pencils take you?

@Kylie nice blog and StoryMap!  I did something similar this past spring with the Outline basemap, my child's classmates' addresses, and an ArcGIS Pro map series so they could each map/color the area around their house.

PS - your url for "MapMaker" isn't working (for me), but I found this online.

Sounds like a fun activity @ToddW_stl! 

Thanks for the heads up on the MapMaker link - I see you are Esri sometimes it doesn't work if you are on the internal network. So I used a longer link that should work better for everyone 🙂
