Postcards Around the World

This is a bundle set of 40 postcards of countries around the world from my following products:

1. Africa Postcards
2. Americas Postcards
3. Asia and Oceania Postcards
4. Middle East Postcards
5. Europe Postcards

There are postcards from countries in EVERY continent except Antarctica. These postcards should also coincide with most of the Christmas, Holidays Around the World, and travel-theme activities on TPT. It is also a fun way to teach informal writing or use the cards as templates for reflective writing after learning about a country.

I also have Passport Stamps of Countries Around the World to accompany similar activities if you are interested.

All images were legally obtained through my art program which provides images from the public domain. I used one image with a Creative Commons license, which allows liberal commercial use. All postcards display a photo from its country such as a famous city, landmark, or activity. The context of the picture is labeled on the front or both sides. Each postcard comes with a back side to write on and place the stamp. These cards were designed to look realistic like actual postcards you would buy in a shop-- they are not cookie-cutter templates. The back sides vary from simple to embellished designs to accompany the writer's short message.

Format:

80 PNGs - each country is provided in PNG (front and back sides) - you will have to figure out how to make them print the way you want on your printer.

Take a look at the PREVIEW! Please note that the quality of the preview file has been reduced to fit TPT requirements. These are all quality images-- PNGs are 300 dpi when printed at 5:7 inches ratio. (5x7 inches is a standard postcard size)

I hope you will have fun with this download! Thank you for looking!
