Egyptian Pyramids

As part of our curriculum, we are studying Ancient Egypt. This week we discussed mummies and pyramids. We thought it would be fun to end the week by making our own pyramids!

The ingredients:
Trevor decided to make his own pyramid out of blocks. :)

The hard work has just begun!


Such concentration...

...and precision.

We did it!


Erica's pyramid was "The Great Pyramid of Giza" which was a couple of layers taller than the other two. It required standing up to work on the upper layers!

Here is Erica covering the tip in "gold."

The finished product!

Ta da!

The Great Sphinx is watching over the pyramids, making sure that no grave robbers come and take what is not theirs!
