Ancient Egypt part II

Today we made these out of Fimo, based on Nekatu, the little girl in Croco’nile.

AJ spent time translating the egyptian hieroglyphics in the book, once I had found the key, which was missing from our copy. Unprompted, she went on to write her name using the same code. It was beautifully drawn.

BL was really happy with her Nekatu. It is the first time she has made anything with Fimo. I found her smiling and watching it cool on the kitchen table. Moments like this I can’t help thinking how much I am enjoying crafting with the children. I’m sure I’ve said that before, and I’ll probably say it again.

  • Hi. Welcome to our blog. My name is Cheryl and I am a mother of three. We live in the South-West of the UK in a 280 year old cottage that we have nearly finished renovating. This blog includes some of the crafting, gardening and other activities that fill our lifes. We strive to be self sufficient. We love living in the countryside and enjoy nature. We'd rather be searching for beetles than shopping for shoes. We share this place with one dog, lots of chickens, wild rabbits and deer. I hope you enjoy our blog and please leave a comment to let us know you have visited. Thank you for stopping by.
