How To Make Your Very Own Geoboard

Step 1

Cover one side of the foam board in Mod Podge and attach a sheet of graph paper.

Step 2

Once it’s dry, cut the board/paper to fit.

Step 3

Paint the sharp end of a map pin with Mod Podge, and push it into the foam board. Keep adding pins to the board at even intervals.

Step 4

Allow to dry, and you’re ready to start adding shapes!

Step 5

Wrap rubber bands around the pin heads to create different shapes. My son loves this activity — we’ve tried making different scenes, like houses and trains. I’ll ask him to make certain shapes using certain colored rubber bands.

It’s such a great learning activity!
