MUMMY MAKING KITS

LIFT THE LID ON MUMMIES (Lift the Lid) by Jacqueline Dineen

Open the mummy-shaped box.... Smell the must of the tomb.... Reveal the secrets within....

Remove the 'organs' from the plastic 'body' and sort them into the Canopic storage jars then find the mummification materials in a hidden drawer. Once your your mummy is wrapped in the gauze bandages (with amulets between the layers) put on the headdress, add scarabs and a cardboard cat, seal the tomb with a "Curse of the Mummy" sticker Perhaps you could also construct a 'tomb' in the garden, from stones you find lying around.

This kit introduces mummies of South America too, and mentions other types of mummies too - shrunken heads, bog mummies and ice mummies.

Sounds a bit gruesome to us . . .

There's also a LIFT THE LID ON MUMMIES BOOK
