A little fun with mummy

As an activity to our study of Egyptian's ritual of mummifying, the kids tried to mummify their stuffed animals. (This idea is from The Mystery of History) I love the activities in there.


Here is W's first attempt at mummifying his fox. See how much paper he used? My goodness. The second one is a later attempt with a some mommy help.

Here is J's bear fully mummified with some help. W didn't want his fox's head to be wrapped up.


Here is me trying to mummify W. :) I guess he enjoyed it by the look of it. He had fun trying to unwrap all the paper too. And that mound of paper left afterward is cave/haven for their animal friends.
