Here Come the Mummies

4th grade studied Egyptian mythology this year and we made mummies! 

You can find a video on the process here. 

We also made paper boxes with hieroglyphs for our sarcophagi. This was a fun project, will definitely do again! 

Scarab Necklaces

1st grade had a blast making these scarab necklaces based on the Egyptian myth of Khepri the beetle. We used model magic to create ovals. Then we used a wooden stick to make the impressions on the back and for the neck. We used the round end of the stick for the eyes. Then they used washable markers to add designs. We also made beads and strung them onto pipe cleaners to finish the necklaces. How cute are they?!

Khepri the Beetle

Using chalk pastels on black paper, 3rd grade explored the myth of Khepri the scarab, who moves the sun across the sky in their Egyptian myths project. We cut them out and glued them to backgrounds with hieroglyphs. So cute!

The Riddle of the Sphinx

5th grade started their Myths & Legends Unit by studying the myth of the Egyptian Sphinx! We created sphinxes from clay. You can find a video for that here. 

Then we wrote riddles to go with our sphinx. I loved this!
