Classical Kids: An Activity Guide to LIfe in Ancient Greece and Rome

Yet another arts and crafts book to add to your collection. 

Divided into categories, with several ideas in each one, your children can dress Greek (complete from your chiton and peplos to stone pendant and shoes) or Roman (from toga and stola to bath oil and bracelets), Eat Greek (baked fish to sesame circles) or Roman (Crustulum and olive rolls and many more), and many, many more things. 

Want instructions to do magic squares or make a globe, that's in here.  Spinning cotton and using a spindle. Check.  Weaving a mini-basket and engraving.  Check.  Making a catapult and slingshot.  Check.  And that's not even about 1/4 of the activities listed in this book.
