Coloring Tips
• Bandages: The most important part! Mummies are usually wrapped in old linen, so think about shades of off-white, cream, light grey, or even a dusty light brown to show they've been around for a long time. You can use different shades to give the bandages depth and make them look even more authentic.
• Peeking Through: If there are any tiny bits of skin showing, a very light peach or tan color would work, or even a hint of green for a truly ancient look!
• Eyes: Give your mummy personality! Bright yellow, glowing green, or even dark black can make its eyes stand out.
• Background: What's behind your walking mummy? A dark, star-filled night sky, the golden sands of a desert, or the shadowy entrance to a pyramid? Use blues, purples, yellows, and browns to create an amazing backdrop.
• Get Creative: Don't be afraid to add patterns or designs to the bandages, or even draw in some extra spooky details like bats or scarabs!
Fun Facts
* Did you know that mummies are very old bodies that have been preserved, often by drying them out and wrapping them in cloth? Ancient Egyptians believed this would help them in the afterlife! * The bandages you see on mummies are usually made from long strips of linen fabric, sometimes hundreds of feet long! They were carefully wrapped around the body. * Mummies became popular Halloween characters because they look mysterious and a bit spooky, like they've just woken up from a very long sleep! * The word "mummy" actually comes from an Arabic word "mūmiya," which referred to bitumen, a tar-like substance that was sometimes used in the mummification process, which could make the bandages look dark.
