Pharoah for Dinner

Last year for Halloween the kids were sick, so instead of going trick or treating I made them a spooky dinner. They liked it so much they requested we started a new tradition, so we did it again! It had to be a surprise, so while Ryan took them to the trunk or treat, I stayed home and had fun getting ready!

This year we are studying Ancient History. A few weeks ago we learned about mummies and pyramids, so I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to sneak in a little "hands on" learning!

The kids had to remove the vitals to prepare this body for burial...starting with the brains using a spoon...


Coffin of the Pharaoh

Chicken Alfredo brains, Jell-o Jiggler hearts, french bread lungs...(with egg eyeballs on the side)

Lots of green salad guts, and, the funnest part to make...bread shaped like intestines!

Eeewww, gross! Or was it? They ate it, so it must not have been too bad!


Puppy thinks it's alright...





And last, the donut dessert treasure hanging in the pyramid...protectd by the sphinx, of course


It took a little work to get the gold, but they did it!


It was TOMBendously fun!
