2. Paste maps on a Word document and print

I'm a teacher, so old maps are EVERYWHERE for the taking (why is it teachers never want to throw anything out????). I found this old Presidential map and decided to turn it into a silly "Where is Santa Now" decoration.

Time: 30 minutes

Supplies:
1. Old Map
2. Hat and scarf stickers
3. White paint
4. Glitter paint

Steps:
1. Giggle a lot while putting hats on the past presidents

2. Paint over any unwanted wording
3. Hang Santa from a ribbon (He is warming up in Florida right now ;)
