Our local museum has hosted several activities for kids in connection with their traveling exhibit about Egypt. We've ridden a camel, constructed a pyramid, colored over sand paper, made pots, watched Scooby Doo, Inspector Gadget, and Bill Nye in Egypt, but our favorite so far has been "dress like an Egyptian" day.
We colored collars and wristbands, visited makeup, and dressed up in headdresses for our photo opportunity.
Rose insisted on helping with her own makeup. Of course. We went with friends, which made it twice as fun.
Elijah wasn't sure about the cobra headdress, but the museum photographer thought he looked so great, he snapped a shot and asked me to sign a limited use waiver.
Rose's mask, complete with purple highlights in her hair and a purple scribble tattoo on her face.
Since this picture, Rose has begun telling me every morning that she wants to wear her purple dress. She has three. When they are all in the laundry, she sometimes settles for purple shorts with a purple shirt. Usually she tells me she'll just go naked, and I tell her she'll get dressed because we're going somewhere, and Armageddon begins, right in her bedroom.
Ellen was excited to take a picture with the "real" Egyptian princess.
