Treasure Maps for the Letter X

In preschool last week, we made treasure maps for the letter X.  We used brown paper and drew the outline of an island.  Then, we colored the water and some of the kids even drew pirate ships in the water.  Next, we added details to the island, like rivers, trees, mountains, etc.  When we were all done, we crumpled the paper up to make it look like an old treasure map.  The kids loved it!

Here's a picture of the map that I colored, so that you can see the crumpled effect!
