cindergretta Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 We are taking all of our dc to the King Tut exhibit next month. Our older 3 are excited and intrigued. What I would like are some links, books, movies, whatever, that you can recommend for a developmentally delayed 9 year old, a 7 year old, and a 4 year old to drum up their excitement and give them a connection to the exhibit before we go. Does that make sense? :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justLisa Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 We are going too! I need to do this as well but don't have any ideas ATM. I have a few books about Egypt, that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that make sense? :confused: Someone started a thread about a book series available as audio for a low download price of (I think) 2 dollars a book. It is called, "Who was" and one of the books is, "Who was King Tut". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Do the Egypt part of Story of the World. I also found this area to be well stocked in the children's section of the library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindergretta Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hmmm, we recently moved to a new town and still haven't checked out the library. (Crappy horrible summer) I think it sounds like it is time! :D (We aren't using SotW. Am I even allowed to post that here??? :tongue_smilie: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom in High Heels Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 We went when it was here in Germany a while back. Indy is a HUGE fan of all things King Tut. He's read the following: Tut's Mummy: Lost and Found (Step Into Reading-4) The Curse of King Tut's Mummy (Stepping Stone Book) Who was King Tut? Inside the Tomb of Tutankhamen And a whole host of others that I can't think of right now. We're going to Egypt next month (SQUEEEE!) and will visit the Egyptian Museum and get to see the real Tut. I'm afraid Indy may explode from sheer excitement. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

besroma Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 This thread has some good recommendations: http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/showthread.php?t=405327&page=2 Tutankhamen's Gift is a beautiful book. We went when it was in Altanta. It was amazing. I would get an Usborne book on Egypt and talk to them about other Egyptian rulers, familiarize them with the jewelry, artwork, etc. because there was a lot of it there and it will be more exciting if they have seen some of it in pictures. I realize that is what you are doing. I am just saying that I focused a lot on Tut, which they were already interested in, and wish I had spent more time building their interest in the parts of the exhibit that might be a bit boring to them.
