    Here, here. Excellent job everyone! You made voting extremely difficult, there are some extremely good maps to choose from.

    I'm a little dissapointed I didn't get to finish my map in time even though compared to many of the entries it is much simpler. Maybe next time.

    Here is an update. I think this simpler map, will be better for a 4 year old...

    @Loopysue thanks! Doing the outlines and highlights manually was a pain but it turned out ok.

    @Monsen indeed... just as well I’m using CC3+ commercially and can only have it on one machine...

    @SchadowKnyght thanks! Mason loves the zoo and it’s map, and both my wife and I enjoy playing with him. We think it’s important to encourage kids imaginations. My wife works in childcare & I was a Cub Scout leader for a number of years.

    Its funny, our son is really sporty and could’ve played first grade cricket but continually being overlooked for representative cricket at junior level because we weren’t involved in the committee and so on, despite his talent, kind of ruined his enthusiasm. Mason, is completely the opposite and is more like his Pop, completely unco-ordinated and I think he would find Scouting right up his alley, where we think our other Grandson, Cooper (he’s 1) will be more like his Dad.

    I might not give him this one, I’d like to getter better pictures of the animals (perhaps making them into tokens) and use basic colour fills like the “proper” zoo map.

    @DaltonSpence your wish is my command...

    When I get home, I'll scan the sketch with labels for our actual rooms.

    Deleted the previous comment. I 'fixed' it in Ps, took me about 1.5 hours where in CC3 it would be less than 5 minutes most of which would be spent getting the effect "just so"... In this case, raster image editing software is certainly not 'better' and definitely not faster!
