Mysteries in Time
Updated
A monthly time-machine pack of history stories, magazines and activities for ages 6-11
Mysteries in Time is an award-winning history subscription for kids aged 6-11. Each month a new pack arrives, designed to look like the time machine in the story, and carries young readers to a different period. The stories follow two time-travelling characters, Max and Katie, who solve a mystery in each era. The series starts in Ancient Egypt and moves on to topics including the Elizabethans, World War II, Ancient Greece, the Wild West and the Aztecs. Each pack contains: - A 50-page illustrated adventure story and a matching bookmark - A 28-page magazine of fun facts and activities - A sticker sheet The first pack also includes a free world map with a timeline. Kids add a sticker each month to see how the periods fit together and find the modern-day country on the map. The magazine mixes coloring, puzzles and hands-on projects; the Elizabethan pack, for example, includes a Tudor-inspired recipe and a build-your-own theatre stage. The packs are designed by a teacher to mix history, literacy and geography, which makes them handy for homeschooling and screen-free afternoons. Mysteries in Time ships from the United Kingdom worldwide, with tracked shipping to the US; the listing doesn't give a transit time. You can pay monthly or prepay 3, 6 or 12 packs for a lower per-pack price.
