I used my puzzle map for comparison to see exactly what interms of Islands, and land lines they used to keep it similar as I could. <br />Then I started with a rough paint in of the continent colors. I may have went back and forth between land & water...approx 3 coats of paint. The last coat was on the continents, and I was able to touch up the edges and add anything I was missing. It is time consuming, but if you are patient it can look wonderful!! <br />I also found the craft paint recently in a Dollar store, and at Walmart!! The paint makes all the difference...I think the brand I used was Folk or the equivalent. <br />I used artist brushes large flat and a tiny point brush.<br />When it was all completely dry I used a water based clear coat - about 3 coats...so it's durable, and washable if need be.<br />Hope that helps!!! <br />There are so many wonderful things to make...check out the Counting Coconuts blog (if you haven't already) she has a ton of very early activities to make.<br />Good Luck!!!Cherine Muirheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01107665808653181237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190462048494164843.post-76135428235558615462011-09-15T21:34:15.804-07:002011-09-15T21:34:15.804-07:00May I ask in what order you painted this?

I'm just starting to make materials for my 2 year old and I'm finding lots of inspiration on your blog!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406896022663881851noreply@blogger.com
