A long time ago, I read about an old-fashioned toy called a matchbox jack-in-the-box. When you tug on a string the inside box pops open to reveal a little baby hidden inside. I wanted to adapt it for Halloween fun. The first challenge: finding an actual old-fashioned matchbox. These are tough to locate. If anyone knows where you buy matchboxes in bulk we would love to know because I found this one in the back of a drawer at our summer cottage! Materials matchbox or make something similar out of very thin tag board using this template sarcophagus image sized to match the box. Ours is 1.5 x 2 inches. Look online and you will find lots to choose from, or draw your own. embroidery floss pretty bead double stick tape black permanent marker gold paint pen big needle note card or white scrap paper school glue Steps Use double stick tape or glue to attach your sarcophagus picture to the front of the matchbox. Cover the sides and the back of the box with strips of white paper, using glue. Color everything black using the marker. Color the inside of the matchbox using the gold paint pen. Leave the sides of the inside box bare so they will be able to slide in and out easily. Make a mummy. I used polymer clay and a pasta machine to make lots of thin pliable strips of clay, then just wrapped them into a mummy shape. Follow the baking instructions, then after it cools, glue on some beads for eyes or draw some using a thin marker. Remove the inside box and use a needle with embroidery floss to poke through one side of the box and out the other side. Pull the thread through and leave a few inches length. Tie a bead on and knot the pully. You can now insert the matchbox and try to make it jump out by pulling the thread. Ours works best if you pull out from the two sides rather than down. If you are really dedicated to good sliding you could put some wax on the sides and see if this makes it smoother.
3rd graders finished their Egyptian sarcophagus', Egyptian self evaluation, and then made these toilet paper Egyptian cuffs! I told the students DO NOT CUT the toilet paper roll UNTIL it's completely dry. The reason being it will loose it's shape and just flatten out on it's own. So simply paint with metallic gold, decorate and glue with sequins, and let dry. Then give it a spiral cut for the cobra cuff or just s single cut for the normal cuff. Students finished working on teamwork skills and their tableteam, patterned, life-size sarcophagus', complete with heiroglyphic cartouches, gold metallic paint detail, and then cut them out. We drew straws for who got to take the treasure home!

The Land of the Dead: A collection of my third grade art students sarcophagi (sarcophaguses?) laid out to dry. The kids dubbed this area of the floor The Tomb. Last week most of my third grade students finished their Egyptian sarcophagus. We had a lot of fun with this looong project and I thought I'd share it with you. It began way back at the beginning of the school year. I remember it like it was yesterday... Don't mess with Tut. I can't decide if I look mean or just constipated. Either one is unpleasant enough, I suppose. I spent the first week of school dressed as King Tutankhamun (aka Tut). As King Tut, or Mrs. Tut as the kids referred to me, I introduced all of my classes to Ancient Egypt. During this introductory lesson, my third grade students learned how to write their name in hieroglyphics and create a cartouche. If you look closely at the bottom of their sarcophagus, you'll see their rendition. After that, we got a little side tracked with other projects: a field trip to the local art museum to see an Egyptian exhibit; a school-wide t-shirt tie-dying project; and a fall leaf-relief project. With those out of the way, we were ready to return to Egypt. When I was in 8th grade, I had art for the first time. My art teacher showed me how to draw nostrils in a way I've never forgotten: like the handle bars of a bicycle. I demonstrated many different ways to draw a nose and this student looks like he went the handle bar route. We began with a self-portrait drawing. After a chat about portraiture, we looked at some recognizable portraits (the Mona Lisa and American Gothic) and compared them to the paintings found on the Egyptian sarcophagus. Then we proceeded to begin our own Egyptian self-portrait. Each student was given a copy of the head above. The copy was on a clipboard and the students placed a blank paper over it. After a discussion about head shape, we traced the shape of the head onto our paper. That's right, you heard me, we traced. Scandalous, I know. We also used the dotted line as a guide in understanding the placement of our features. We used mirrors to capture our own likeness. After looking at many Egyptian examples, students were given the opportunity to add a nemes (that's the cloth headdress), a beard (even Egyptian Queens wore them during ceremonies) and a collar necklace. The following art classes were used to trace over our pencil lines in Sharpie and add color with colored pencils and metallic oil pastels. We had a chat about how the Ancient Egyptians created paintings that were very two-dimensional. However, we were going to learn a bit about shading and creating a drawing that was three-dimensional. Understanding the concept of shading is a pretty advanced skill. I introduced it to the kids anyway because I don't like assuming they cannot do something. I demonstrated by choosing a flesh tone and shading my forehead and bridge of my nose in a light value forming a letter T. I then used a dark value around the outside of the head creating a letter U. That dark value was gradually lightened as I colored toward the center of the face. The sides of the nose were shaded a dark value like two capital I's. When the students got confused about shading, I could remind them by saying, "Light T; dark U; two dark I's". This seemed to help. A very clever student and her wadjet eyes. From there, details of the students' liking were added to their face and headdress. Metallic oil pastels were used on the headdress. Once complete, students were ready to cut out their sarcophagus. For the sarcophagus, students were given a 3' (maybe a pinch longer) piece of butcher paper. They folded that paper in half lengthwise and placed half of a sarcophagus template on top which they traced and cut out. From there, the kids glued down their heads and their cartouche. Then the fun of planning their sarcophagus began. This student paid a great interest to patterning detail. I love her designs. With a piece of vine charcoal, students drew hands, crook and flail and, if they wanted, Isis, the winged goddess. Then I asked them to divide break up the space of their sarcophagus with a series of lines. Once completed, students took their sarcopha-guys to the floor and painted over their charcoaled lines in black paint. In hindsight, painting on the floor should have been done with some sort of floor cloth. I owe my custodial friends some chocolate for that mistake. In between the lines the students painted, they were asked to add patterns in black paint. Once the black paint patterns were complete, I broke out the jars of metallic paint which proved to be a big hit. Not all metallic paint is created equally. We used Liquid Metal by Sargent sold through the Sax catalog. It was expensive but cheaper than spending money on junky (and often odorific) craft store metallics. Like I've said before, I only see my kids for half an hour. Some day it was a real struggle giving directions, passing back the work, getting out supplies and then turning to the clock to see YIKES! TWELVE MINUTES TO WORK! But we managed to get them finished. And, seeing them all displayed in the halls, make the kids and I see that our looong project was well worth it.
My tutorial for making a cheap, sturdy, free-standing Egyptian sarcophagus out of foam board and paper maché, with stenciled hieroglyphs.
Sarcophagus (and Mummy) of Neshkons Material: Painted Sycamore Fig Wood Origin: Ancient Egypt (Third Intermediate Period, Dynasty XXI) Dated: c. 900–940 BCE On the inside of the Merrin Gallery's sarcophagus — in the register below the central figure, Amenhotep I — there are two vulture goddesses, crowned with the Red and White Crowns of ancient Egypt. These goddesses sit above the heraldic papyrus and lotus plants, respectively. The goddesses are seen flanking an Amenhotep I cartouche surmounted by a solar-disk. A gold sign and archaic paneled/mat-covered facade appears below. The penultimate register displays two cobra goddesses both labeled wadjet (in hieroglyphs) over two stylized patterned facades, flanking a tyet or “Isis-knot” surmounted by a disk. The knot also appears at the very top of the exterior (not pictured) of the sarcophagus' trough, where a solar-disk and the “Isis-knot” are flanked by two “West” signs. Acquired and sold by Samuel Merrin and Moshe Bronstein of the Merrin Gallery.
