Sherds from a jar of clay

I am using a history curriculum called Story of the World this year. My husband knows the woman who wrote it and some other friends have used and liked it. Though there are things you could argue about with it and lots of different ways to approach teaching history I am pretty happy with it so far. It is especially good for the age my kids are at preK/K and early elementary because it is flexible and has an emphasis on the story and flow of history rather then name and date type stuff. It also has maps, coloring pages, projects and story book suggestions to use as appropriate for your situation. They seem to be enjoying it and learning things.

Right now we are doing some of the first lessons on Ancient Egypt. Searching around on the web I found that The British Museum is the host to some awesome pages on Ancient Civilizations. We are using parts of the one on Ancient Egypt right now and I plan to use the others too as applicable. My kids (4.5 and 6) are like them a lot. They would be great for just about any age interested in some basic information and fun activities related to these civilizations.
