DAY 2: THE GREAT PYRAMIDS

There are dozens of royal pyramids in Egypt, with more being discovered every year.  And while they don't hold the incredible treasures they used to, they are still iconic and offer a great opportunity to teach your child shapes.  Here's a great project to make some great pyramids for your household!

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• Printer
• Card Stock
• Scissors
• Glue
• Thin cardboard
• Sand (Optional)

1. Print out this template on card stock then cut out and fold along the dotted lines.

2.  Glue tab of one triangle to the tab-free side of the next triangle. Repeat until all triangles are attached.

3. Cover entire pyramid with a coat of glue, then sprinkle sand over top to finish it off!

For added fun, help your little one place the pyramids in their sandbox or - in the case of those of us who don't have one - in a mini-sandbox to create a scene straight out of Ancient Egypt!

And if you don't happen to have the materials for this project, not to worry!  You and your toddler can use Legos or even sugar cubes to make your own pyramids.
