Free Lapbooks - Ancient Egypt

For many homeschoolers, we desire to do all the fun, creative hands on projects, but time gets in the way.
A wonderful resource for lapbooks is the Homeschool Share site.
Have fun browsing all the remarkable resources that have been put together through a wealth of creativity.

Free for your use is an Ancient Egypt Unit Study to go along with our studies.
