Scientific Explorer Our Amazing Mummies Model Kit

The POOF-Slinky 07452 Scientific Explorer Our Amazing Mummies Model Kit brings out the science and art of creating your very own mummy while learning early history and how mummies eventually evolved to the movie screen. The most famous Egyptian mummies belong to kings. The death of a king involved thousands of thousands of workers. Embalmers mummified the king€s body and wrapped the body in miles of linen bandages. The head was then covered with a mask of gold and his body was laid inside a gold coffin. Then they placed that coffin in side another, larger coffin-and that one inside still a larger coffin. All (3) coffins went inside a stone box (called a sarcophagus). This set includes a 48-page science manual that features (8) activities with step-by-step instructions to experience a ritual more than 5,000 years old by casting a coffin and mummy in plaster, and then wrapping, painting and displaying your mummy in your very own sarcophagus box, just like it would have been centuries ago. This activity set lets you discover the fascinating history of mummies and makes a great history or science project. This kit includes a (2) piece sarcophagus, paint guide, (2) bags of plaster, (2) piece mummy mold, (2) piece mummy coffin, mummy mask, paint set, paintbrush, (2) pieces of sandpaper, muslin, (8) rubber bands, (7) craft sticks and a 48-page science and instruction manual.
