Did it take a lot of time to make it?
Think about all of the things you used.
Did you use crayons, scissors, glue or tape?
Those things probably came from the store.
Before they were on store shelves, someone had to make those items. Imagine where and how they were made.

- Find Something Made in Your State OR Something that Represents Your State
(Examples: logos, team jerseys, traveling keepsakes)
Wherever you live, you probably like your state best. Look at your state on the map. Think about all of the people that live there too. They probably love it as much as you do!
- Find Something Made in a Different State OR that Represents a Different State
What state is it? Is it near your state? Find it on the map. Do you think more people live there than in your state?

Does it say what city or state it was made in? If so, try to find that location on the map. Did the item have to travel far to reach your state?

What country is it? Find it on the map. Imagine what life is like in this country. What language do they speak? What do they do for fun?
Look at your city again on the map. Did the item have to travel far to reach you?
