SAHA Makes Mummies!


SAHA had an amazing time making our own mummies. Everyone brought in their own doll, stuffed animal, toy, etc. We started the evening with a short presentation on what a mummy is and why the Egyptians made them, then went straight into wrapping what we brought. We added sequins in-between the wrappings to symbolize the amulets ancient Egyptians would have used. Some turned out really nice, some funny, and others were a little creepy. 

                                           


Tim S. wrapped up a loveable sponge character.
