The Harvard Art Museums have produced a coloring book to introduce kids to the art and culture of ancient Egypt. Through coloring pages, drawing exercises, a space to practice writing hieroglyphs, and more, Coloring Ancient Egypt explores Egyptian objects in the museums’ collections.

Coloring Ancient Egypt is easily downloadable and can be printed on 8.5 × 11 pages or used digitally on a tablet or similar device. The team at Harvard Art Museums would love to see your artwork and hear your feedback! Email them at am_dapp@harvard.edu with your creations, comments, or questions.
