Making Carrot Mummies

We are learning about Ancient Egypt. To connect to our learning, we mummified baby carrots.  This is how to mummify a baby carrot.
Step 1: place carrot in the bottom of a plastic cup
Step 2: cover baby carrot in baking soda and salt mixture (equal parts)
Step 3: Leave it in a cool, dark place for over a week

How to make a sarcophagus:
Step 1: Remove your carrot mummy and wrap in bandage
Step 2: Make a tinfoil chamber.
Step 3: Place your carrot mummy inside. Sprinkle with spices such as cinnamon. 
Step 4: Place jewels and tools around your mummy.
Step 5: Use more tinfoil to make your sacrophagus bigger and to create the shape of your sarcophagus.
Step 6: Cover and wrap with plaster of paris.
Step 7: Let dry and paint

Hope you give it a try! It is really fun!
