o   Salt dough relief map of Africa - we got the idea of this from the internet; Katie made it very large (A2 size). It took a great deal of time, and by the time we got to the mountains, her enthusiasm for accuracy had worn off somewhat.... so please don't copy our mountains!!
o   African huts, from same website

o   Maasai ladies, from same website

·      Pocket with cards of all the books we’d read on Africa
