Finally, some fanfare. The best packaging award of all goes to Running Press for its elegant Ancient China Treasure Chest, complete with lock, satin ribbons, and secret drawer ($19.95, ages 8-up, 1561387851). Build a paper model of a Great Wall tower, make ink, try your hand with the calligraphy brush, predict the future with I Ching coins, play Chinese chess, decorate a fan with stickers, look at the map of ancient China and read the informative, colorful book. This classy kit follows previous Treasure Chests on the Aztecs, American Indians, and Ancient Egypt.
