5.0 out of 5 stars
Geat activities for children and adults, August 11, 2007
This review is from: Step Into: The Inca World (Paperback)
As a 7th grade world history teacher, I found this book to be wonderful. My students were able to take their knowledge of the Incas and translate it into a variety of projects that gave them a hands-on experience to complement their learning. Projects such as a war shield and sacrificial knife were easy enough for 4-5th grade levels while weaving a llama, medicine bags, and straw rafts proved to be a challenge for my more advanced students. Each project gives information about how and why the Incas used their tools and provides step by step instructions on how to complete the project. A very fun activity book for students and adults alike. There is also a whole series of the Step Into books that deals with Aztecs and Mayas, the Romans, etc.

fun and succinct, October 14, 2009
This review is from: Step Into: The Inca World (Paperback)
Great overview of Inca life in ways that young readers can understand. The illustrations and photos of Inca art are compelling, and the craft projects are inviting. Photos of modern people carrying out ancient festivals such as Inti Raymi are fun, too. Well researched and accurate.
