Make it personal without making it generic
Use the grandparent's own names for places and include one blank marker for a future story.
Presentation
Roll or fold the map with six numbered story cards tied beside it.
Check the practical fit
- Space
- Offer a foldable folio version if wall display is not wanted or practical.
- Skill
- Clear hierarchy and accurate captions matter more than decorative cartographic detail.
- Maintenance
- Keep an editable file so labels can be corrected or the blank marker completed.
- Accessibility
- Use high contrast, generous type, tactile dots if accurately produced, and a screen-reader-friendly place list.
- Sustainability
- Print one approved durable copy on responsibly sourced paper rather than a stack of posters.
- Timing
- Allow time for the grandparent to choose and verify places without rushing memory.
