Before Spring Break we made cookie islands. Since we were finishing up our study of landforms, maps and map keys, we used our knowledge for this activity. I gave them a cookie and a variety of candy to make their creations. They had to have at least 4 landforms. Once they were finished making their island, they had to name it and make a map and map key of it. Everyone had a delicious time, and all of the islands and maps turned out AWESOME!
Here are two examples of the finished product.
Chloe and Matthew...the candy is to go on the island, not your face! ;)

I hope I matched up every one's cookie island with their name. :)
