A bumper collection of model-making, costume, and recipe projects that can be done at home or in the classroom. They provide hours of creative fun and give amazing insights into history at the same time. All of the projects are inspired by authentic artefacts, buildings, clothes, and food, and are drawn from key cultures around the world. Some projects, such as the recipes, or the patchwork cushion, can be put to practical use. Others can contribute to some interesting fancy dress, while some models are simply ornamental. Each project, however, has an important learning point about human history.
