From School Library Journal
Grade 4–6—The fascinating text in this collection of thirty projects is supplemented by sepia-colored illustrations or photographs on each page. The "Timeline of Ancient Egypt's History" lists nine periods from the early dynastic years to Greek and Roman Egypt, with each entry briefly described. A simple, clearly labeled map of Lower Egypt and Upper Egypt precedes the introduction. The projects are tied to many aspects of this civilization, including the Nile River, agriculture, craftsmanship, pyramids, mummies, family, farming, bartering, the Egyptian calendar, Royal Library of Alexandria, temples, hieroglyphs, and more. Areas of boxed text throughout give additional information on such topics as obelisks, the legend of Osiris, etc. The ideas will be useful for school projects or individual crafting fun. A few require adult assistance, such as when using spray paint, plaster of Paris, an oven, a saw, or a sharp knife. Children can immerse themselves in ancient Egypt by making a papyrus boat, berry ink, a tunic, sandals, perfume, a pyramid, a cartouche, and much more. Back matter includes a glossary of 122 words and resources (13 books and periodicals and l5 Web sites). This title will be a useful and popular addition to any collection, along with Avery Hart and Paul Mantell's Pyramids!: 50 Hands-On Activities to Experience Ancient Egypt (Williamson, 1997) and Nancy Fister and Charlene Olexiewicz's Make History: Ancient Egypt (McGraw-Hill, 1999).—Augusta R. Malvagno, Queens Borough Public Library, NY

Reader Reviews
As a home educator, I'm always looking for books that will draw my kids in. Great Ancient Egypt Projects You Can Build Yourself does just this. The main text is full of information that kids will find interesting, and peppered throughout are sidebars offering further detail. Best of all are the numerous activities. This book includes more than 25 hands-on activities, including creating a game of senet, building a shaduf, making kohl, blending perfume, and even transforming a garage sale chair into a throne. Very cool!
