TP Roll Mummies

October is upon us!

Time for scary ghouls and goblins

ghosties and witches

vampires and zombies

and

mummies!!

My mom just bought a book for the girls called

The Runaway Mummy

by Michael Rex

He writes parodies of popular children's stories

this one is a parody of The Runaway Bunny

 Since we were reading about mummies we decided we wanted to make some

 You need toilet paper rolls

and

gauze

 Then we decided to make prints with them

So I set out some black paper and white paint

When the prints were dry I cut them out

C glued googly eyes to them

Then colored over them with oil pastels to "age" them

 

Waiting for their eyes to dry

We punched two holes into each mummy and strung them up with yarn

My husband says they look like the Mini Wheats characters

 The toilet paper roll mummies became all stiff and kooky looking 

because the way the paint dried on the gauze

So C rubbed the oil pastels on them as well

and 

glued on googly eyes

I think they look really neat!

Our first Halloween decorations of the season!

 BOO!

These mummies are scaring over at these linky parties
