Great Ancient Egypt Projects You Can Build Yourself
KidsArt is all about hands-on learning, and this interactive activity book explores the fascinating lives of ancient Egyptians with more than two dozen hands-on projects. The text covers ancient Egyptian food and housing, games and toys, farming, medicine, clothing and jewelry, as well as gods, pharaohs, hieroglyphs, pyramids, temples, and mummies.
From reed boats, papyrus, and amulets to pyramids, pharaohs, and mummies, engaging projects that use easily obtainable materials and require little adult supervision build on what is taught in each section. Included are activities such as:
- building a shaduf
- making a 1:1,000 scale model of the Great Pyramid
- cooking flatbread
- recreating papyrus
- mixing perfume
- designing a cartouche using hieroglyphs
- making sandals in the style worn by King Tut
...and many more inventive, child-centered activities.
