Perform a bit of orthopaedic manoeuvring to improve Mummy's height ----if the birthday girl demands Mummy has to be exactly as tall as her even to the nearest centimeter!
 |
| Egyptian Mummy |
If height matching doesn't quite succeed ,distract birthday girl by taking Mummy out into the garden to get acquainted with the dog !

Convince little girl that best friends are not always the same height!

Give Mummy a gauze roll over to make him more handsome + stronger so that he would survive the birthday party with dozens of little girls and boys inspecting him!

Let the birthday girl make cute eyelashes and eyes for her Mummy! And the Mummy is ready to Party!

So here is Mummy sitting in our hall near
King Tutankhamen's picture with the Golden Birthday Banner awaiting the arrival of guests!

And that's the birthday girl posing in front of her
Pyramid [we made it from chart paper and painted it Gold], Hieroglyph Stone which spelt her name [made with
salt dough], homemade Birthday banner and the Mummy!

| Egyptian Mummy |
My little girl became quite attached to her Mummy giving her a big " Umma" [ translates to Kiss] !
Our Mummy was a big hit at the Party and the kids even had a "dance with the Mummy"session [which mummy survived]!!
Hoping our Mummy could bring a smile to your day!

Thank you so much Berina -- that is what happens when a little girl makes a Mummy-- turns out cute!! She had actually wanted a monster theme and Mummy was supposed to scare the guests!! And look how it turned out!!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much Brenda-- ha ha oh yes she is such an enthusiastic crafter and the tough part for me while making the Mummy was she insisted Mummy had to be exactly as tall as her!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful mummy! Your daughter is talented crafter just like her mum. It was a brilliant party theme that my youngest son, now 21, would have loved as he was obsessed with anything to do with ancient Egypt.
