Let us know what you find that looks interesting.

Answer 2

I suggest your son use this map to model the base of the project. To show which areas are higher than others, you could use playdough or other clay. Wadded up tissues or other paper and glue could also be used to show mountains.

Answer 3

I advise you to start with heavy corrugated paper or even plywood or a piece of panelling for the base. A flimsier base won't adequately support the glue and other materials you use. You might even paint each section after you're finished. Label the different areas or use a color-coded map key.
