It is very easy and fun to make. We had to cast another mummy so my other little girl could make one too..she won't have a sarcophagus at the end but she will have her own mummy man. Really other than having only one sarcophagus this project could be made over and over with a little 1.99 container of plaster of paris and buck worth of linen or coffee stained cotton. We had a lot of fun with this project and I recommend it to any kid into mummies.

This is a fun project- my son loved every step (and there are a few- best to get into the spirit of it and break this project into separate steps over a few days). There's a cool story that runs through the manual about a robbed tomb and restoring the mummy (Ra-Hotep) to its original state. The usual Made in China catch, seems that's unavoidable these days. A few notes - work fast when casting the plaster mummy- it sets fast (we had to throw out our first attempt - the second came out great with a second adult helper). If there's one negative it's that the paint doesn't adhere well to the mummy mask. Cutting the muslin strips could also be a challenge with scissors - we used a ruler and Xacto blade. Other than that, the finished mummy looks great - just like the one on the box. We'll probably be purchasing another of these kits for the envious little brother.

My granddaughter was totally pleased with this gift. She is excited about having the opportunity to recreate history. It will be an excellent learning process for her.
