World’s Greatest Smile World Map

During the last years we talked with a lot of children about the World’s Greatest Smile, it’s aims and the future. And beside the deeper meaning of this project one of the most popular thing we gave them was a copy of the World’s Greatest Smile World Map. They just loved it and were very interested about the names and all kind of information about the different countries.
That’s why we put one online now. You may print it and then paint in the countries with participants of the World’s Greatest Smile!
(Here are the countries so far:
