| Five easy-to-do art projects take children on a journey through Mexico’s past from early Meso-American civilization up to the Aztec Indians, where they learn about these “People of the Sun.” Children will meet the gods of creation, rain, wind, and sun through myths and stories and will learn to make a calendar disk, pyramid, codex book, ceremonial headdress, and story mural.
Inside you’ll find: an informative introduction, a map of Ancient Mexico, illustrations of everyday life, descriptions of rituals and games, six stencils with cultural explanations, ancient myths, five creative projects with detailed instructions, and a list of resources for further reading.
