This shouldn’t come as a surprise to you, but we’re REALLY into maps in our house. We try hard to instil our love for learning about the world both through travel, when when we return by studying maps, reading about a destination and its culture with our little one, and just generally talking about different countries and how other cultures live.
Like many 7 year olds, my son is also a massive football fan, so naturally knows the flags and countries (and capitals!) of all the teams that entered this year’s World Cup. It’s full on geography at all times at our house.
So when the good people at Future Mapping Company got in touch to ask if we’d like to review one of their maps and offer another as a gift to one of our readers we literally jumped at the opportunity. We’ve been renovating our Edwardian home for the last year, and as we have been putting the last finishing paint touches on the walls they were looking very bare, and in need of something that would really pop. I had been looking for a picture that really spoke to me to hang on our dining room wall and just couldn’t make up my mind. But the minute I laid eyes on this world map from the Future Mapping Company I knew it was the one.
The map arrived immaculately packaged, despite being very large – I loved its size as we wanted it to be a statement wall feature in our dining room. The map itself is beautifully done, very intricate and full of detail, and with a very attractive colour combination. Before it went on the wall my son and I spent hours virtually exploring the world, talking about all the different places we’ve been and the ones we wanted to go to (he’s desperate for Borneo and Russia!). We also compared the map we know from playing risk to today’s political map which raised questions such as ‘Where’s Siam gone?’ and ‘Wow, that’s Kamtchaka?!’… I’d be lying if I didn’t say it made the traveller in me incredibly proud of my little one. Even if he had beat me at the game earlier that day!
Maps for all tastes & spaces
The Future Mapping Company has a wide variety of maps with different colour palettes, shapes and finishes. We went for the Khaki finish as it worked best against our dark blue wall, but absolutely love their colourful Winkel Tripel World Map (which I may just get for the living room!), the country maps and the star map which Charlie has been asking me for. You can ask to have a magnet finish to start keeping track on everywhere you’ve travelled to, and either have it framed or unframed – they do it all for you.
