Ages 9 years & over. In this completely revised and updated edition, children are introduced to the world of the ancient Maya, the most advanced and mysterious civilisation of the New World. From ceremonial masks and hieroglyphics to calendars and musical instruments, the hands-on projects in this fun and educational book allow children to experience how the Maya lived, cooked, worshipped, entertained themselves, and interacted with their neighbours. Children will re-create favourite Maya games, carve their own glyphs in soap, cook home-made tortillas, and make Mayan-style jewellery and pottery. Detailed step-by-step instructions, diagrams, and templates for each project are combined with historical facts and anecdotes, biographies, and trivia for the real-life models of each project, making this project book an ideal firsthand look at daily life in ancient Mesoamerica.
