We are not an “Elf on the Shelf” household. Part of me knows that I would go way overboard planning creative adventures for it every night, and part of me thinks it’s just a little creepy. That said, wouldn’t it make more sense to have a slightly spooky creature keeping an eye on your kids around Halloween instead of Christmas?
Our annual “apple party” is coming up, and that means I need to come up with a craft for the kids. In the past, we’ve made pantyhose pumpkins, Halloween snow-globes, confetti poppers and leaf glitter paintings. (The leaf glitter trees were actually one of my favorites, but I just realized I never posted about it! That link goes to the tutorial I used.) This year, the kids are going to make miniature mummies!
You can read the full tutorial HERE. (As always, with my AP stories, news links tend to die out rather quickly. If the link is bad, just google “Holly Ramer” and “mummies” and it should pop up.)
I don’t like mummies, but these guys are pretty awesome – and creepy in a cute way. Very clever idea!
