Egypt Resources

Evie and her friends are playing Barbies. I am so glad the Barbies are out again. It means fall is coming (more indoor play) and, for Evie, Barbies mean huge bursts in personal confidence and skills--can't really explain that one but I have observed it before. Shrieks and giggles are escaping every once in awhile and I think our Egyptian period may be coming to a close--for now. Someone asked me what books we had particularly enjoyed so. . . here you go!

My World: Ancient Egypt This one has a story and a TON of instructions for making things. We bought it off the "cheapo" table at the MN Historical Society and it started this avalanche of interest in ancient civilizations.
