Drawing Around the World: USA (Geography Drawing Series)
Drawing Around the World: USA outlines a simple, fast, and easy program to teach students to memorize the United States of America.
With Drawing Around the World: USA, students, in only minutes per day, engage in fun geography lessons that teach them to draw the 50 states plus Washington D. C. Additionally, students learn the state capitals and interesting facts about each state as they complete the state fact table.
Add Drawing Around the World: USA to your school day and teach your student to memorize and draw the United States, the state capitals, and the state abbreviations.
A common complaint against young people here in the US is that they don't know their place in the world. Now, this may be true, but what I really mean is that they can barely pick their own country or state from a blank map - let alone a country somewhere else in the world. This series is an easily accessible solution to the very problem faced by students everywhere today! The premise is simple: repeated tracing and copying of each country or US state will help students become familiar with its outline. Then, each week, students draw the cumulative pool of outlines learned (free-hand, from memory) - resulting in an ever increasingly completed continent map with political boundaries (or US map with showing states). Along the way, students will be researching and recording basic country or state facts. Books are organized into detailed schedules by day (Europe within a 24-week schedule and the USA within 27). Methods, objectives, and additional memorization techniques are included in each book. These books are consumable, but permission is given to reproduce pages for use within a single family. 233 pp, sc. ~ Zach

If you are referring to the ArtK12 series, those books are not consumable. Instead, you gradually create a map on printer paper. This one has you drawing right in the book. This one seems easier for younger students.
Sara CThis book does not include answers to the state facts. The book suggests using "The National Geographic Kids United States Atlas" to fill in the questions asked about each state. There are also two web sites listed to help answer the questions. We have personally used the atlas suggested (just checked it out of our local library) and had success with it for what was needed for this book.
Meagan MMexico is only included as the southern border and its relationship to the border states. The book features the states of the USA.

something new and different
I've used this with my three older kids. It is an excellent tool that really helps them memorize states-location and capitals.
I love that my child will be learning the shape of each state by drawing it. I especially love that these are short lessons and there are guides to help as they draw. Not too hard or time consuming,…
Excited to start this book! It will be a great follow up to Draw USA
