Mosaic art

We were going to be studying more about Egypt today and last night we headed off to Wal-mart to do our grocery shopping and just happened upon this mosaic art project in the craft section. It fit right into our study and thought it would be a treat for her to do. Of course it just happened to be Tinkerbell!!!! It was a little time consuming so Mommy assisted towards the end but she did a really good job herself. We went to the library and found some books about King Tut and his tomb, got to see some interesting pictures of mummification (didn't gross her out too much), learned all about the rituals of burying Pharoah's in the pyramids, and why the Pharoah's bury their treasure with them. I was telling her how they believe in the afterlife and what you bury goes with you into the next world....her response was "that's just silly!" Way to go sweetheart! That's what I like to hear. It was a great opportunity to ask her why it is silly and reiterate what the Bible tells us about death and eternity. Here is a picture of the finished product.
