Hands-On History! Stone Age: Step back to the time of the earliest humans, with 15 step-by-step projects and 380 exciting pictures

I really love this and I'm glad I bought it. It's even better than I had hoped. It contains LOTS of photographs of real items. I've been very disappointed in how many ancient history books for kids imply that civilization began only 3-4,000 BC and only flourished in one spot. This book demonstrates that humans reached the southern tip of South America by 10,000 BC, and that agriculture and herding happened thousands of years before the "Biblical" timeline. The activities and chapters include climate change, art, communication and counting, transportation, clothing, religious symbols, burials, buildings, jewelry, and more. It's an important foundation for authentic world history.

Great book, full of information about the Stone Age and loads of craft activity's suitable for ages 6 and up I would think, although some of the activities are more suited to older children.I would imagine all the activities to could be modified to be age appropriate using different materials then those that are mentioned in the book.Used together with  Stone Age - Set experimental archeology hands-on school material  and loads of fiction and other non-fiction books including  The Secrets of Stonehenge , The History Detective Investigates: Stone Age to Iron Age , Ug : Boy Genius Of The Stone Age And His Search For Soft Trousers  just to name a few, has made the Stone Age come to life in our house and has really made the hands-on craft activities a great experience all round.Highly recommended. Although mentioned by another reviewer that this version is almost identical to  The Stone Age (Step into)  by the same author, I have ordered it as well, as it had a different amount of pages, will update further when it arrives to clarify any differences.

Arrived quickly and in good order. Great Non-fiction resource for Year 3 topic work.

Good coverage and well laid out and a good price. However, if you are looking to collect a few books on the topic please be aware that this book is almost exactly the same as 'Step into the Stone Age'. This isn't made clear in the product info and the covers are different.

informative, interesting, good craft projects, good illustrations

Bought this for my 7 year old doing The Stone Age at primary school. It is actually a bit advanced for him in places but it is a beautiful read that I will hold onto in case the Stone Age crops up again in secondary school.
