Adult Supervision Required

Mr. Jeppson at Hidden Hollow Elementary School has an interesting way of teaching his students about ancient Egyptian culture. He invites parents to his class to make mummies out of his students. I spent 2 hours at school wrapping J2 with packing tape - 3 layers for each part of his body. The trick is to keep the tape loose AND to wrap the first layer of tape with the sticky side out.
We finished his arms and legs at school. We finished his torso, head and taped it all together at home. It was kind of weird to wrap his head.


Even though his mouth wasn't covered, he looked like he had a plastic bag over his head!

Cutting it off wasn't as easy as it looks, either.
