We start off the morning with the paper work...making puppets of an Egyptian Pharaoh with moving parts... and a map of the Nile.
We start on our canopic jars...
just the bottom part this time.
Then we make our way to a pretend fossil dig.

Dad helps us to identify our finds.

On to our next project...dyeing cloth with the Goldenrod, an idea I got from 5 Orange Potatoes. We strip the flowers off the stems...


and find insects to enjoy along the way.
The Goldenrod bath ready, we put the handkerchiefs in.
A break for dinner while they sit in the dye bath.
Cold rinse after dinner reveals a golden yellow color.
