These books are filled with hands-on activities perfect for accompanying your study of ancient civilizations. Each book discusses a fascinating ancient culture, covering food, clothing, buildings, religious beliefs, festivals, family life, and social organization.

Materials needed are usually cheap and easy to find like cardboard, paint, straws, felt, markers, and air-drying clay.
