4.0 out of 5 stars Great teaching tool!, September 28, 2000

I am a teacher and when I do my ancient Egypt lesson I use these masks to spark student interest and to decorate the room. The masks are easier to make than the villages or castles in this same series. The pieces are bigger. I found an xacto knife and tacky glue work the best!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great masks, January 16, 2009

This review is from: Cut and Make Egyptian Masks (Cut-Out Masks) (Paperback)

I used this book to make the mask for my 6 year old who told me he wanted to be Anubis for Halloween after having learned about Egyptian Gods. This book was exactly what I needed. The masks involve alot of detailed work and are not something for young children to work on, but the end product was well worth the time, and the other masks in the book were great as teaching tools for other Egyptian gods.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cool Masks, Not a Craft for Kids, April 3, 2006

I bought this for our daughter, thinking she would have fun making these masks as a "free time" activity. The masks are really cool looking. Unfortunately, they are WAY too hard for children to cut out and assemble. Frankly, they are almost too hard for me to put together. I wouldn't recommend this as a craft for homeschoolers. It's more like a classroom decoration.
