We had so much fun with our homeschool Halloween lessons this year. Preschool is such a fun age for holidays because you can do all sorts of fun crafts and projects and easily call them schoolwork. This super cute Halloween story, Skeleton Meets the Mummy {affiliate link}, that for some reason reminds me of “Little Red Riding Hood,” for no good reason was a lot of fun to read.

Summary of Skeleton Meets Mummy
Skeleton is sent by his Mom to take a basket to his grandma (the part that reminds me of Riding Hood), and as he goes through the forest is scared by a sound behind him.
A mummy is chasing him, and finally catches him. Skeleton overcomes his fear by……….. If you want to know, then read the book.
I had this brilliant idea of a craft, which of course my kids wanted to do a completely different craft, so we did several of these. With only one kid actually completing my project as envisioned.
Skeleton Meets Mummy Craft
Supplies (these are affiliate links): Person Large Multicultural Creative Cut-Out (you could trace a gingerbread man cookie cutter
, do a paper doll chain, however), strips of white paper, Fiskars scissors
(and yes I do buy them in multi-packs because we lose scissors), glue stick

1. Glue the strips of paper onto your mummy.
If wanted, draw a face on said mummy. Batman insisted it’s necessary, “see the book, it has a face Mommy.”

2. Trim the extra paper away, so it’s a person shape again.

As an alternative you could do Superman’s method. Just draw lots of lines on it, so it looks like a mummy.

Then glue your mummy on the Halloween Mural of AWESOMENESS.

And stand back and stare in awe at the wonderfulness of your mural.
