Today we learned about clothing in Ancient Egypt and one of the things that really made an impact on us was that most children didn't wear clothes! We couldn't believe it! I don't think many of us would be very comfortable walking around with nothing on, but to the Ancient Egyptians, this was considered normal.
We also learned that most Ancient Egyptians wore eye makeup (to help keep the sand out of their eyes), and a lot wore jewelry.
So as our "souvenir" of sorts, we made an Egyptian cuff/bracelet. We used tag paper, aluminum foil, permanent markers, glue, and tape to make them. Most of us are finished ours and they are drying, waiting for us to bring them home tomorrow.
Here we are working on our cuffs.
Some of the finished products.
