World map

A world map is a big picture that shows us all the places on Earth. It’s like a giant puzzle. The Earth is a big round ball, but a map is flat like a piece of paper. So, people have made maps to show the shape of the world. It's like seeing a bird’s eye view of the Earth.

It's important to have a map to know where we are and where we want to go. Just like when we play games, we need to have a map to understand where we should go to find our treasure!

People started making maps a long time ago when they explored the world. They used different materials like paper and clay to make them. Maps tell us about the shapes of the different countries, continents, and oceans. It also helps us to understand how big they are and where they are located in relation to each other.

However, no map can be perfect because the Earth is very big and round, but when you make a map, you need to flatten it, which means that you have to cut off some of the parts of Earth’s surface to make it easier to look at. The maps can be different in their colors, lines, and shapes to help us understand what they mean.

Maps can help us learn about different countries and cultures, and they make it easier for us to find where we are going!
