Looking down on people

We’ve been playing with Multimap. Specifically, we have been playing with the aerial maps. We looked at our house, we looked at J, J, C & M’s house, grandfather and uncle David’s houses (we wanted to see the sea) and we looked at Kessingland (“Where’s the field with my tent?”).

Big definitely seems to have grasped the whole map reading bit. She picked up on the railway line symbols, the camp site symbol and also seemed to grasp map navigation very happily.

So that was fun. Then we had to go and look at pictures of Switzerland (I have a Hama flag stuck on my monitor). Look, S N O W!

  1. Buzz is crazy about maps he has a folder full of them and sits for ages following the lines to places. We collect them from where ever we go. He can find motorways and knows which are the fast and slow roads.

  2. That is so cool. It’s interesting trying to work out how old the pictures are too
