Double Bubble Map Template

Created by

Firsties and Fairy Tales

My school was required to use thinking maps this year, so we transitioned from Venn Diagrams to Double Bubble Maps. This is just an easy template to use to compare and contrast anything in any subject. This will help make sure the little ones have a neat map rather than having them try to draw their own! Enjoy! :)
