Hieroglyphs

Got it for a mini ancient Egypt study unit for my first graders. He wanted to use the stencil right away and kept him engaged for over an hour. The book is amazing.

Added to our history study of Egypt. My little ones love using the hieroglyphs to write their names. Just an easy way to make history come to life.

The Hieroglyphs workbook and stencil takes the mystery out of the ancient Egypt symbols. The text is simple, informative, and displays the life and terminology used during ancient times. The stencil allows for interactive learning and creativity. I highly recommend this workbook.

Nice short book on ancient Egyptian life and language. Great for kids and young teens. Explains basic hieroglyphs. Comes with a stencil of 24 hieroglyphs that kids can use to form words and to write "secret" messages to their pals, but does not include a colored pencil to use with the stencil. Careful opening the back cover to remove the stencil; mine ripped while removing it.

Great book about ancient Egypt and hieroglyphs!! Excellent illustrations. I used it for my ancient Egypt lesson in elementary. It sparked a lot of interest and children loved using the stencil to write their names in hieroglyphs. Very cool!

This book does a decent job of being both informative and entertaining. It's a little short, but my son enjoyed it nonetheless.

*** I added a photo of a project my son completed using this book. -- check it out! *** This exciting book was fundamental to week 3 of our homeschool unit on ancient Egypt -- when we studied scribes, papyrus making, and hieroglyphs. The kids got toally carried away, writing each other coded notes and having a blast. We made homemade papyrus and used the stencil inside to write our translated Bible verses in beautiful hieroglyphs. This book is dynamite.

I liked this book because of the stencils and for the hieroglyphics. I think it could have focused on that a little more and left some of the filler out. I would still recommend this book. My son had a blast drawing his name and using the stencils.
