By A Customer

This review is from: Ancient Egypt (Make It Work) (Paperback)

This is an outstanding book for use by educators. The projects and information are detailed and clear, very easy to follow. Our Summer Art Camp for children ages 5-12 will be using the projects from this book for our time machine trip to ancient Egypt of crafts, costumes, ceramics, etc of the period. This book is perfect for what we are doing!

5.0 out of 5 stars It is a craft and educational book!, January 6, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Ancient Egypt (Make it Work! History) (Paperback)

I really liked this book and it provided me with information I hadn't gotten anywhere else. The crafts are a good way for students to be active and learn. Education isn't just book reading. People need to learn to create with their head and their hands. This is a book that blends ancient civilizations with creative activities. Good work!
