Activity	Coloring Page 12	Build a pyramid out of Legos- The Activity Book suggests many ways of creating your own pyramid. We went the easy route and used square Mega Blocks/ Legos. It only took about 5 minutes of our time & very little effort, which was exactly what we needed, and plenty to teach the kids about the concept!	Coloring pg. 14 & Sumerian Seal (AG 21)- We used a small circle of 1/2" thick modeling clay and molded our own "symbol" using a toothpick. Later we sealed them using a mixture of glue & water and then used the seals as "stamps" on paper with an ink pad. I actually let them make 2 of these and we made one into a necklace, with a small hole at the top of the clay circle in which to thread twine to wear it.
