For thousands of years the ancient Egyptians told stories of kings and queens, gods and priests, and myths and legends through hieroglyphs. At this event, kids can learn to write a secret message or their name (and the names of some famous Egyptians!) in hieroglyphs. Black, white, red, green, and blue pigments held special significance for the Egyptians. Kids will use these colors to add extra meaning to their scroll.  Want to imagine the life of a scribe? Try out a reed pen called a stylus on a piece of papyrus paper.

An interactive area for our youngest festival-goers, the KidZone tent provides a fun and safe area for children and their parents to discover and explore a wide variety of hands-on activities with different community partners. From learning karate, creating homemade instruments, or meeting prehistoric critters, KidZone offers different nightly activities for families at Top of the Park.
