We have recently returned to our study of ancient history. We started quite a while with ancient Egypt because of Madeline's interest, but then backtracked when I found the History Odyssey curriculum. Well, we are now back to ancient Egypt. I had thought that we would mummify a chicken when we reached this point, but it seems I am not feeling that brave right now, so we settled for making a mummy out of Barbie. I'm sure we will be studying ancient Egypt again, so there will be other opportunities to mummify the chicken!
This is the coffin we made from a cereal box.
Here is Madeline's complete mummy.
This is a close-up of the death mask she put on the mummy. We had just finished reading about Hatshepsut, so I think she modeled it after the images she had seen related to her.
