These golden mummies were created by Nelson's second grade artists who are studying ancient Egypt in their social studies classes. First we created the form of the mummies using newspaper and masking tape. Then we covered them in plaster strips...the same kind that are used to make casts for broken arms and legs! To finish them off we painted them gold and created an ANKH (symbol for life) necklace for them to wear to protect them in the afterlife.
