Roman Tile Making:
For the Romans, art and design took many forms, and mosaics were among the most striking. These beautiful pictures were created using tesserae—small cubes of stone, pottery, or glass—pressed into soft cement. With this Roman tile-making activity, children can explore the artistry of mosaics while creating their very own piece of history through hands-on crafting.

Roman Bridge:
Roman towns and cities relied on aqueducts to carry fresh water through channels and pipes. While many aqueducts ran underground, others were supported by high stone arches. Some of these remarkable structures still stand today, a testament to Roman engineering. This Roman bridge activity introduces children to ancient construction techniques, encouraging them to design and build while learning about history and architecture.

Roman Coin Craft:
The Roman Empire used the same currency across its vast territories, with coins made from gold, silver, and bronze. Many of these coins have survived through time and can still be found in nature or viewed in museums. This Roman coin craft lets children step back into history, creating their own replica coins while learning about trade, economy, and the culture of the ancient world.
