  1. Print the mummy writing template. Cut along the dotted line and cut out the eyes. 
  2. Glue the eyes in the upper center of a black piece of construction paper. 
  3. Tear a white piece of paper into long strips about an inch wide.  Glue the strips around the eyes and along the sides and bottom of the paper.  Leave the strips hanging over the paper’s edges or trim the excess off with scissors. 
  4. Glue the writing template on the construction paper.

If you want to have students write about something other than a book they’ve read, switch out the template with a blank piece of paper or handwriting paper. Students might write a story about a mummy or a general Halloween story instead.  Story starter ideas include:

  • The Mummy Mix-up
  • Mummy Makes a Mess
  • I Love My “Mummy” (write about their mom)

Another idea is to use the craft to write a reading response or summary after reading a book about mummies.

For students in grades 3-4, you might have them write an expository paragraph about mummies if you’re studying ancient Egypt.  A fun title or bulletin board heading might be “Unwrapping the Truth About Mummies”.
