 Make This Model Egyptian Mummy by Usborne. A detailed cut-out model of
the figure of an Egyptian princess. The inner and outer coffins nest inside each
other.
Our son enjoyed doing this project when he was 7, with some help from his dad.
It's hard to believe that he's now 19! We took this model to our son's Board of
Education portfolio review, and the reviewer refused to believe that our son was
able to do any of the work (he "couldn't have such fine-motor skills"). Well,
our son loved anything Egyptian, he wanted to make this model, and he had
experience working with cut-out models. We still have his Egyptian model
displayed on one of our bookcases, partly as a reminder of what you can achieve
if you really want it.
Ages 9+. Glue, scissors and a craft knife are needed.

 Ralph Masiello's Ancient Egypt Drawing Book: Become an Artist Step by Step -
Emerging on the fertile banks of the Nile River over five thousand years ago,
ancient Egypt was a place of mummies and pharaohs, pyramids and temples<&mdash>a
place that sparks the imagination. Young artists can dive into the underworld
with Anubis, jackal god of the dead; creep past a sentinel sphinx with the body
of a lion and the head of a falcon; bow down to the beautiful Queen Nefertiti;
or give praise to the murdered god Osiris, all while learning to draw the
symbols of the mysterious and ancient civilization of Egypt.
Step-by-step instructions help young artists create their own representations of
this incredible culture, and annotations throughout the book provide a glimpse
into the history and mythology of ancient Egypt. Bonus steps provide ways to
customize drawings with historically accurate symbols and other details.
