When a preschooler shows interest in history, it's important to follow their lead and provide them with opportunities to learn at their pace and level.

These Ancient Egypt Activities for Preschoolers with Free Printables are absolutely perfect for this situation focusing on Montessori preschool skills while learning about an ancient civilization.

There are activities and printables in the four basic subject areas of language, math, biology, and culture.

Montessori-inspired Ancient Egypt Activities for Preschoolers with Free Printables

Ancient Egypt Do-a-Dot Cards

Do-a-dot cards can be so much fun for little ones.

Do-a-dot activities vary depending on the needs and developing skills of the child.

In this activity a young child can pick up the glass beads and place them on the dots provided.

If I wanted to make this activity a bit more challenging, I may add tweezers.

I chose the do-a-dot page representing the desert to encourage a discussion of geography.

There are multiple Ancient Egypt do-a-dot pages to choose from included in the printable pack.

Ancient Egypt Nomenclature Cards

In this activity preschoolers are introduce to Ancient Egypt vocabulary with nomenclature cards paired with the Safari Ltd Ancient Egypt Toob figures.

For young children who aren't ready to match up words and pictures, you can simply have them match up figures with pictures.

Ancient Egypt Syllable Counting Clip Cards

This Ancient Egypt Vocabulary Syllable Counting activity takes lessons to the next level with even more vocabulary related to the ancient civilization and a way to help children pronounce each word represented in the pictures.

Kids practice saying each word and count syllables as they go.

They use a glass bead to mark the answer on each clip card.

Hieroglyphs Decimal System Activity

My apologies. The mat used for this activity in the photo above is upside down. Place values should read left to right: thousands, hundreds, tens, and ones. Look at the activity below for the proper presentation.

Ancient Egyptians used hieroglyphs.

What better way to learn about hieroglyphs than to learn how to read numbers related to the decimal system.

In this activity children will match up hieroglyph number cards to the Montessori material provided.

This is a great activity for young ones who are just becoming familiar with the decimal system.

Ancient Egypt Pyramid Addition

The Ancient Egypt pyramid addition cards are perfect for kids who have a little more experience with the Montessori decimal bead material.

Kids use the gold bead material to answer the questions on each clip card.

They mark answers with the glass beads provided.

Important Animals of Ancient Egypt

Animals were very important to Ancient Egyptians.

In this activity those important animals are introduced.

I paired up animal minifigures we have in our collection with the cards in this activity.

The figures are not required.

Crops of Ancient Egypt Match Up

Ancient Egyptians are known for their crops and advances in agriculture.

In this activity kids are introduced to foods that were grown in Ancient Egypt.

One set of cards shows the plant that provides the food. The other picture is of the food after it's harvested.

Kids match up the cards using the words on the bottom of each one as a control.

My Book of Ancient Egyptian Gods and Goddesses Activity

The gods and goddesses from Ancient Egypt can be extremely interesting to learn about.

In this activity young children make a book of the gods and goddesses using the materials provided.

There are multiple versions of this book activity to meet the needs of all kids in the classroom.

I have chosen to use the book that requires children to glue pictures of the gods and goddesses on each page.

They also write the names of the god and goddess at the bottom of each page.

A control book is provided to help kids know which god and goddess is which and what each of their names are.

Ancient Egypt Artifact and Not an Artifact Sorting Activity

The last activity that we've created to go with this amazing study of Ancient Egypt is a subscriber freebie that teaches what an artifact is and what it's not.

Kids sort out the pictures provided, deciding which objects are artifacts and which ones are not.

The control is provided in the text at the bottom of each card.
