I have done several projects with kids on ancient Egypt.

Firstly, Egyptian cats...you an pull up pictures of them on line.=3DA0=3DA0=
The=3D
kids make scuptures of cats but that species....using what I call the burr=

ito method.=3DA0 Email me off list and I will explain.
I have also done "storytelling bookends"with kids, where they create ancien=
=3D
t Egyptian scenes on the bookends.
Also, if you have all girls, they love doing jewelry, mimicking those worn =
=3D
by ancient Egyptians.
When I teach children with certain themes going, I create a big posterboard=
=3D
of different pictures I print on websites so they have some frame of refer=

=3DA0 penguins (there are many varieties)=3DA0etc.=3DA0 Do one on Ancient E=
gypt a=3D
nd they will have something to see to energize them.
I am happy to give you more ideas...just get in touch!
Warm regards, and happy teaching....
Teaching kids is the BEST!
