More Egypt

We've all been enjoying our study of Ancient Egypt.  I just wanted to share a few more fun things we've done as a part of our learning...

We made a mummy from a kit.

 

  

  

  

   

We built pyramids out of legos, then out of sugar cubes.

 

  

 

We made mummy cookies.  (Shortbread cookies cut out with a gingerbread man cookie cutter.  When they were baked, we wrapped them up in fruit-by-the-foot!  A fun way to reinforce a bit of what we've been learning.)

 

We've played with an Egypt sandbox.  The kids have been able to handle and view replicas of mummies, sarcophaguses, pyramids, Egyptian cats, a Sphinx, etc, while hiding jewels in the sand for each other to hunt.  It's been a big hit.
