Product ReviewsFun with Hieroglyphs : From the Metropolitan Museum of Art by Catherine H. Roehrig (1990, Hardcover)

Great hands-on activity

If you are interested in Ancient Egypt or are teaching this in history, this is a wonderful multi-sensory activity for students on any grade level. I used this product with kindergarten, first, and second graders. We started with a phonics lesson comparing sounds with the letters of our alphabet, then with the hieroglyphic alphabet. Then the students segmented the sounds of their first names and matched the sounds to the appropriate hieroglyphs. It was a fun lesson, and they continued the skill by writing notes to their friends in hieroglyphs. Each child stamped his/her name on a small piece of paper which was glued to a piece of papyrus, then laminated. These became their personal Egyptian bookmarks.

This product is easy to use and very child-friendly.Read full review...

great product! works great, good value.

I love this Hieroglyphs stamps.
I work with elementary school children and w use this stamp on paper and even on unbaked clay.

they are very clear design stamps, the children love to understand and see the details. I am not sure that other products exist . they are the right size for children and adults to use.
to my knowledge they do not produce this product any more, i am glad i bought it

Excellent teaching tool. Well worth the cost.

Purchased this for a kindergarten class "ancient civilizations" day. Because the heiroglyphs are phonetic, 5-6 year olds relate to this very well. The stamps are large enough for little hands, but small enough that words/phrases can be stamped on a piece of standard paper. It would also work well for a laminated bookmark project for older kids, or just free play.Read full review...

Child friendly

Kids will love using these to write in hieroglyphics. Stamps are large enough for young ones to handle.

Love it! 1st graders had a blast!

I purchased this for my child's 1st grade Montessori class, and they spent an entire afternoon printing out messages to each other, and then translating them. By the end of the day, they had gottten so good they only needed to consult the book over a few of the rarer hieroglyphs.
I intend to send a copy of this kit to my daughter's pen pal, and encourage them to use it with each other.
All in all, a great productRead full review...

A couple of days good, educational entertainment

An excellent project for a upper elementary or middle school student. They will love it.

Fun With Hieroglyphs by Catharine Roehrig (1990)

It was not a book, but an ink stamp book. We are able to use the ink stamps to make our own messages using hieroglyphs. Well worth it. It was not in as good a condition as I thought, but it is very enjoyable.Read full review...
