Create an entire town or geo city of your own, as in the pictures below.

For this geo city project we used a large black piece of card stock and attached it to a piece of cardboard box. We then marked the roads and crossings out with a white marker pen and pieces of white paper. Houses and buildings were created using cubes, pyramids, cones, rectangular and other prism shapes in different sizes, using a photocopier to make the patterns larger and smaller. Different colours of card stock were used to make the city interesting with trees, dams, pools, post boxes, cars, busses and small outdoor furniture pieces.
