Mummy Wrap Craft

Doing this Mummy wrap craft with NC lead to more confusion than I thought was possible.  She doesn’t quite understand what a mummy is in this instance.  When I told her we were making a mummy, the conversation went along these lines:

NC: “ooo, I gingerbread man!”

Me: “Not a gingerbread man, we are making mummies”

NC: “My mummy?”

Me: “No, not your mummy, a mummy.”

NC: “Your mummy?”

Me: “No, not my mummy either, A mummy.”

Make sure you follow my Halloween board on Pinterest for more ideas.  Don’t forget to save the pin for later.

To make your own mummy wrap craft you will need:

• Cardboard
• Gingerbread man cookie cutter
• Scissors
• Tape
• Wool
• Pens

I do suggest that you use cardboard for this rather than card stock or paper.  If you use a flimsier type of paper, the more you wrap the wool around it, the more distorted the mummy will become.

On a piece of cardboard, trace around a gingerbread man cookie cutter and then cut it out.

When you start to wrap the mummy, tape the start of the wool to the back of the mummy to hold it in place.  Then start to wrap the wool around the mummy.  You can keep it as one colour or use multiple colours.  When you have finished, tape the end of the wool to the back as well.  Finally add a face to your mummy.  You could either draw this on or use googly eyes.

I wont lie, NC found this craft tricky.  She was very enthusiastic to do it, but she didn’t quite understand the concept of wrapping it around the mummy.  Obviously, every child is different, but this craft is probably better for those who are 4 years and older.
