We have a small obsession with maps. Old, new, vintage or blue, our love knows no bounds, especially when it comes to these bright and bold creations. They have a classic look with a little fun and funk mixed in when it comes to their choice of inks. For boys or girls alike, there's sure to be a perfect fit for everyone.
We're not really sure why a traditional map would be an option when these extra colorful and shiny ones exist. There's the cool black one for bad boys or the silver and pink inked girl version — plus a few tamer options in between.
Each print runs 30"x20" from These are Things and will set you back $75. Although that price might seem higher than your typical art print, we might add that these are a much larger size and are classic enough in their lines that there's no reason why your child would ever have to give them up. We can totally see them hanging in an adult home (we'll take one in every color please), so they would make for a great investment.

I looked at their site, and their letterpress world map is amazing as well!
These are really beautiful. They're definitely more art pieces than educational pieces, I would say, since they don't have much detail. My kids and I use our traditional one all the time to reference places in stories, places friends and family live, etc. I guess for me, there would be a place for both--traditional and artsy (if I had the money to spare for the artsy...)
These had been my favorite maps (and still are some of my top picks) for a while now. Lately I'm loving this interactive one though -- http://starturl.com/lgghy
