Step 1
Choose a favorite fairy tale. On the bulletin board paper, plan a route that resembles settings in the story.
Step 2
Cut and glue construction paper scraps to illustrate the settings. Add marker details.
Step 3
Draw a compass rose, a key, and a scale on paper scraps and glue them to the map.
Step 4
Cut the edges of the map so it appears to have been saved from fairy-tale times!
Adult supervision is recommended when children use scissors.
