Maps for kids have been around for as long as teachers have tried to bring history to life. They are often times full of whimsy. For instance, an old antique map might employ rich colors and drawings of native peoples and topography to make the map pop. More modern versions showcase cartoonish images that are as exaggerated as they are animated.

Though native peoples and explorers of yore are absent from this map of the state of Florida, there is certainly much to talk about and discuss with your young one. Give a lesson in military history by pointing out the naval base near Tallahassee. Have a talk about the agricultural backbone of Florida's economy by delving in to sugar cane and tobacco.

Of course, you have to discuss both the Gulf beaches and Atlantic coastline areas. All of the sand, sun and fun happens every day, year round. It is what Florida is known for. Though she has her areas of history like St. Augustine and the Keys, much of the current economy is supported by tourism, whether it is a theme park, botanical gardens or carefree beach condos and resorts. Don't forget the fishing though. Florida has some of the best sailfish and tarpon fishing to be found in the world. Your kids can imagine being a fish that gets caught unaware, or if they are older, hanging out with their friends on a deep sea fishing trip.

No matter what your child likes, you will have plenty to look at and discuss with your little one as you visually explore the state of Florida. Maps for kids have been around for as long as teachers have tried to bring history to life. They are often times full of whimsy. For instance, an old antique map might employ rich colors and drawings of native peoples and topography to make the map pop. More modern versions showcase cartoonish images that are as exaggerated as they are animated. Our Florida state map fits the bill nicely and would make the perfect gift to be treasured and handed down for years to come.

About Great River Arts: Great River Arts started its journey in 2006 when Lisa Middleton began restoring and painting historical French maps of the Mississippi River. Art collectors and interior designers loved the subtle enchantment of the gently painted maps, and demand for her restored and painted historic maps quickly spread across the country.

Her historical map collection rapidly developed into custom map services for private estates, resorts, lakes, public lands, and regional attractions-all with the vintage charm of Lisa's earlier works, applying borders, cartouches, and fonts found in historic maps from the 1850's and earlier.

Each piece of art created by Lisa is the result of an in-depth, collaborative process between cartographers, architects, colorists and professional researchers. An intrepid traveler, Lisa continues to paint originals and work with her design team from the road and her home base near Glacier National Park, Montana. She pursues new map suggestions and collaborations every day. Please stay updated on Lisa's newest maps and travels at facebook.com/greatriverarts!
