A stunning companion piece to the book Born with a Bang, the Cosmic Story Mat makes concrete the abstract concept of the creation on the universe with materials designed for individual work. The story is revisited as the student reads text and matches it to the illustrations. The canvas mat depicts a spiral timeline marking history from the Big Bang onward: children place arrows to mark points on the timeline from 14 billion years ago until the present. (6 to 9 years)
