Inspired by the world,
Implemented at home.
Learn a little something extra this week.
The Dining Room Wall
What started as a temporary place to tape things up that we were learning about has evolved into a daily focal point for conversation and learning. What it lacks in sophistication it makes up ten-fold in functionality. Here's where I find my stuff for it.
Printed Material
Printing relevant material can be great because the internet has literally everything. Wikimedia Commons and Unsplash are great places to find images to explore and print. I also include some in my printables for sale on Etsy.
Flashcards
I have two sets of flashcards: one of famous art and one of famous landmarks. Both are great beginner packs but I really wish an expansion pack existed. Still, these are mainstays of the board and a lot of them stay up all the time.
Maps
Our big world map is elsewhere in the house but on the wall, I have two laminated maps that are supposed to go in a 3-ring binder: one of the United States and one of the world. These are great! There are other continents available for purchase online. Unfortunately the ones I bought no longer seem to exist.
Old Calendar Images
After a very frustrating search of where to get cheap, good-quality images for the wall, I bought and cut apart a weekly famous art calendar, a daily world travel desk calendar and two old world travel planners. Best idea ever!
