My boys made these this week.  I wouldn't necessarily require them to do hands-on projects, but they've never turned one down.  This 3-D map came from the book Easy Make & Learn Projects: Colonial America: 18 Fun-to-Create Reproducible Models that Bring the Colonial Period to Life We used the Hands-on History: Explorers (Grades 4-8) in a similar series and loved it!  You can see the sample of the windmill on the Amazon link.

You can see inside here and here.
