Hello,
My aim to help teachers reduce their workload and encourage students to love learning geography. I used to spend hours looking for blank editable maps. So, I thought I would make a bank for free blank maps. I have 50 free blanks maps available in my shop.
If you have the time to show your appreciation and click 5 stars it is very helpful for me to see what resources people need.
Good luck
:)
