Give Your
Child the World: Map Mural Improves Grades and Decor  (ARA) - Recent studies have shown that most
Americans, and particularly students, do poorly in geography. In fact, one study
indicated that one out of seven Americans cannot locate the United States on a
world map. Now you can give your child an edge in school with a colorful
wall-sized world map mural from
www.primoproducts.com.
Affordably priced at less than $140, the
Executive World Map is 8 feet 8 inches tall and 13 feet wide. It is printed on
heavy paper panels and has a dry-erase surface (one dry-erase marker is
included). The map is applied to the wall much like wallpaper by following easy
instructions, which are included. The map height can be trimmed to fit low
ceilings, and narrow walls can be accommodated by simply carrying the map over
to an adjoining wall.
"Unlike wallpaper patterned with juvenile
themes, the benefits of the Executive World Map mural will increase as your
child grows," says Todd Imholte, president of Environmental Graphics. "Young
children like it because it's colorful. As they get older and their view of the
world broadens, they become fascinated with all the detail in the map and it
becomes increasingly useful for schoolwork."
The company created the map mural with the
assistance of the U.S. Department of Defense and continues to update the map
yearly with the help of the CIA and Department of State. The map contains an
abundance of detail, including land elevations, ocean depths, shipping-lanes and
time zones, as well as more traditional geographic information like cities and
political boundaries. The topographical map is printed in eight colors giving it
a three-dimensional look.
"With this map in the room, you get very
familiar with the world," says Nancy Webber, an instructor at West Charlotte
High School in Charlotte, N. C. As chairperson of the Social Studies department,
she's purchased several of the maps for her school district. She adds, "Even a
student who has difficulty pointing out the locations of major countries can't
miss them."
