Mummy Wraps! a gooey playdough activity that can open conversation into Egyptian traditions or a little more gruesome, glimpse inside for the festivities of Halloween. Using playdough, a bag of body parts and if wanted the printables below, have fun making an abundance of bandages and concealing the not-so-mummified mummy!     Making your body bags: Fill a zip lock bag with wobbly eyes, bones, water beads (if appropriate) and plain water or cooked cornflour goo and seal the bag securely with a little added sticky tape. Print the mummy wraps base, cuting out and snipping along the flap lines. Place a bag of parts in the centre and invite everyone to roll, cut and fold over the strips, entombing the mummy with a variety of paper, dough and fabric. Finish with a sarcophagus lid that's either personally designed or pre-drawn.
