This little trio of activity books would be perfect if I were a bit more hands-on, I think. It would also make a nice supplement to Handle on the Arts, offering more activities per day. There are a few that I would worry about being a little too, well, religous for my tastes. Such as making the goddess Athena's owl or feasts, but it definately gets you in the mood of the era. They each start out being a little story of a family from the time period, and takes the reader through a day in the life, peering into what different family members are doing throughout the day, and each has about 30 crafts to go with, about 3 out of each book are food ideas.
So, if you are looking for a bit more hands-on crafts that will take you through most of Sonight's Core 1 Ancient Greece, Rome, and Egypt, these might help. I was able to get all 3 from my library.
