Plastic Treasure Map

I got this for my little pirate for his birthday (which is soon). I know he will love it! I think the map is sturdy for little pirates! I however have got it to be put in a frame to go on his wall with the rest of his pirate themed bedroom. I may just buy another one that he can play with as it is excellent value for money.

I have a 3 year old nephew who loves pirates, so I ordered some pirate dress up stuff and accessories as a surprise for him. Planned to take him to the park and let him "follow" this map to some treasure hidden beneath a bush in my local park. The map I received is smaller than the measurements given in the item description, it is A4 brown card with a greyscale map. I admit I didn't read the product reviews on this before buying as I assumed with a map you get what you see, not like I needed to check it's safety or sturdiness right? I saw a bright, colourful, fun looking map with authentic looking worn/dyed edges and thought "There's no way I could print one that good, I'll spend a couple of pounds on it." Complete waste of money. I'll spend tomorrow rubbing a wet tea bag over a sheet of paper and making a map for him, in fact I may as well make it a craft project to do with him. It will be more fun, and even if I let him roll with it and do it all by himself the end product will be of far superior quality than this piece of junk. Make your own people, this really, really isn't worth it.

This should have been our path to great wealth and riches. However be aware that very little instructions come with this map so it is really hard the determine where to start. On several occasions we thought landmarks matched the map. And we have dug many deep holes at the supposed x-marked spots. All in vein so far. The only thing I got out of it so far are blisters on my hands and severe backache. But we will keep trying. The map is sturdy so it can be taken on many missions under different conditions. And it is colourful with a clear print. The printed compass marks are helpful, but I just wish Amazon was a bit more forthcoming with directions and hints. Why would they sell treasure maps for treasures that are impossible to find??

Ok first off the map itself is a bit rubbish and of lower quality than I expected, plus it looks much worse than the photo. Why 5 stars? because my daughter and nephew absolutely LOVED it and spent an astonishing amount of time playing with the map as a focus. I wouldn't normally give a product I think as inferior to what it is described as 5 stars, but it deserves it purely for the amount of great play it help produce.

Not that good quality picture shows it being light when I got it its actually so dark cant really see it not worth the money to be honest.

My 4 year old boy loves all things Pirate. We bought him a Captain Hook costume for Christmas and at the eleventh hour he declared he'd like a treasure map from Santa. Quick search on computer and bingo - found this map at great price and previous review of durability. Delivered very quickly considering December weather and Jnr loves it.

nothing like the website - it;s literally a A3 sheet of glossy paper folded up no plastic or felt on it ! Waste of money

Bought this to share with my reception class as part of our pirates topic and it was perfect. The mat is thin enough to roll up like a scroll and the map itself had enough detail to engage the children but wasn't overly complicated. It's also hardy enough to withstand a term with 30 treasure hunters. A good purchase for the classroom.
