World Biomes — Homemade Pin Map
World Biomes Pin Map – Rain Forest, Desert, Savanna, Tundra and More
For the map and pieces to this map click the link above!!
I was pretty excited with how this turned out! I made this over the Christmas holidays and have been itching to show the kids. What do you think?!! This is the full version, but I’ll be using it piece-meal as we cover a new biome.
Again, continue on to this post for more information about our Biomes Pin Map:
And continue on to this post for Biomes and Habitats Worksheets and more:
Happy Homeschooling! ~Liesl

Djamie, Unfortunately, I didn't make the cards myself. I bought the picture cards online from http://teacherdesk.info/ (you can see what they look like at this link on my website: http://thehomeschoolden.blogspot.com/2010/02/blog-post.html) and I printed out the world biome map and the key fromhttp://www.science-house.org/workshops/buncombe/Mazzei/index.htmlI copied the key to my computer and using print shop (but you can use photo shop, gimp or something similar), I enlarged the key and made several copies.Someone else asked me a couple more questions about how I made the pin parts. Here's what I told her:The long pins were just straight pins I had in my sewing stuff. They are just over an inch and a half long. I'm sure I got them at a sewing store at some point.I placed the biome key word (like desert or tundra) next to a picture of it and laminated them together. Once they were laminated, I cut them out leaving extra plastic around the edges.I stuck the pin through, up through the back, then down through the bottom and covered the pin on both sides with clear packing tape. This makes it nearly impossible for my little one to pull out the pin.I hope this helps!
