Hi,
We made our mummies out of potatoes for heads and oranges for bodies
wired together. They scoop the insides out of the orange and fill them
with baking soda and salt, then cover them with more and let them
mummify for a month or so- then wrap them. Our mummy cases were paper
mache-
I used the lesson at this link for my basic mummy instructions- but
modified as I went.

The book Mummies Made in Egypt by Aliki is great for information and
pictures.
