As many of you know, we are homeschooling our kids. This is our 12th year! The following two geography helps are great for any child.
1. For years we have had a U.S. place mat on the kitchen table. It finally kicked the bucket recently. I ordered a new one from Amazon and it is really nice!! Every home should have one of these. We reference it ALL the time!

2. This summer I finally purchased an iPod Touch. I think my children get to use it more than I do! There are so many really cool apps for it and many are free. Originally, I downloaded the Stack the States Lite app, but for $0.99 it is positively worth the asking price to buy the full version! This app asks all types of questions about our 50 states. All of my children ages 5-12 love playing it. The younger ones get help from older siblings.
