M is for mummy craft

Unfortunately we didn't have any coloring page submits for this month's contest.  Hopefully there will be submits next time?

Regardless, here's a fun mummy craft that I did with H&N. H was more interested in making this than N. But once he saw his sister doing it he hopped on to the chair and said "I want to make a mummy too!"
This gave me an opportunity to teach the kids "the letter of the day... M" and H could practice her cutting skills. N's obviously is not as advance but he enjoys learning how to hold scissors and cut slivers of paper.

HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
White balloon
White cup
White streamers
Googly eyes
Paper to draw arm and legs
Glue
Scissors

As H was cutting I inflated the balloon to make the head and cut a slit on the bottom of the cup. Insert balloon end through the slit.
Now cut streamer in strips. I cut the streamers in half to make smaller strips. Apply glue and wrap up the mummy's head and body. Glue on eyes, arm and legs.
Do you like H&N's mummies? If you do please Pin It, thank you!

What do you love most about being a mummy? or love about your own mummy?
I love getting an unexpected "I love you mommy!!!", hugs and kisses from my kids. PRICELESS!!!

    1. Thanks Lisa! Yes toilet paper is a good idea :) I know how it is, when a kid made up his/her mind it's hard to convince them otherwise, especially a 2 yr old. Been there, done that ... and still doing hehe.
      Awww big kisses for mommy, Love it!
