Egyptian Fact Pyramids
Explore the wonders of ancient Egypt then construct a 3-D pyramid on which to display your findings.
1. Research information about ancient Egyptian people, their artwork, and architecture. Choose four pieces of information that you think are most important or interesting.
2. Using white paper, Crayola® Scissors, and Crayola Colored Pencils, create a pyramid on your own.
3. Before putting your pyramid together, use Crayola Gel Markers to write and illustrate an interesting Egyptian fact on each section of the pyramid.
4. Tape a string inside the top of the pyramid for hanging. Fold the pyramid and tape the sides together.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.
Small Parts—
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
