I have been traveling in Canada and decided to take a break from my blog for a while. While on vacation in Canada, I spent several days with a friend's family traveling around Nova Scotia. His mom is very much into geocaching which involves using GPS devices to find hidden treasures.

My friend and I then embarked on (sometimes frustrating) adventures to find hidden caches in the area.

Um … not quite. To help him understand cardinal directions, I decided he should use a compass and practice locating things on a map. We don’t have a compass, so he made one! We followed the same directions that are posted here. All you need is a cork, shallow dish/bowl, needle, water, and a magnet. My son kept moving the cork to watch the needle spin right back and point north again. He thought that it would point in whatever direction you were heading. After our compass was made, I gave him a little activity I’d worked up to practice directions. Next, he read directions and followed them to find friends on the map (an example is below), either beginning at the start or using the clue in the first direction to determine the starting point.

After all eight friends were located, he picked the place he’d want to go and wrote the directions to it. Of course, my son picked the ice cream shop (like father, like son)!
