I love this book! Tons of SIMPLE yet fun hands-on activities to learn about Ancient Greece. Coupled with Laurie Carlson's books, Kids Create and Classical Kids, my kids are "living" ancient history. From very simple peplos (like a toga) to a whole set of Greek armor to vases, I have found these to be very budget and time friendly. Our most recent project was making a weaving loom from yarn and a piece of cardboard. My children (ages 5 and 7) loved it! As we homeschool, not only would I buy this book again, but we are going to buy "Spend a Day in Ancient Rome" for next year. My kids especially enjoyed the make-believe story of the two children that we "spend the day" with. Excellent!

This activity book is a good resource. There are some fun ideas and helpful activities. Great to help kids learn about Ancient Greece.

This book is filled with simple, fun crafts, helpful info boxes, and an engaging story. I got it for my third-grader to help her learn and remember more about ancient greece. I recommend not only this one but the other two in this series also.

this book is great for doing a social studies project on Ancient Greece. I took my granddaughters on a Mediterranean cruise. This was perfect as a pre-cruise and a post-cruise resource.
