Anna's Egyptian Project

For the Coram Deo First Grade Egyptian Festival, each child chose a project to present. Anna first wanted to make a pyramid that could open up at the top to allow for the insertion and removal of an Egyptian paddle doll. As amazing as that would be, (I was relieved when) she decided to present on Egyptian houses. She worked hard to make the floorplan of an Egyptian villa. She used poster board, and by herself decided that popsicle sticks would make the walls. She used fabric for the floor, pipe cleaners for shrubs, white fur and fabric for pillows and beds, play-doh for the grain stores, and cut-out clip art for the cattle, ducks and Egyptians. My favorites were the grapes for the wine press and grapevines, which she punched out of purple construction paper, and the feather that she used to shade the owner of the villa as he sat in the reception hall greeting guests. Here are some pictures of her work. Great work, Anna!
