Did You Know About our Salt Dough Mummy?

Did you know about our salt dough mummy?

Yesterday we made up a salt dough mummy. Using the salt dough recipe and a mummy mold, we baked up a mock mummy. After it hardened we used linen gauze strips dipped in flour paste to wrap around our mummy.


After it got good and dried my daughter used Sharpie marking pens to paint on the "mask".






The kids then decorated a sarcophagus to place it in, complete with charms and amulets.
