Confections for a Sweet Egyptian party
- Mummies: Make yummy mummy cookies with sugar icing, or dip a nutter
butter in white or dark chocolate. Even easier, buy the gourmet Chocolate
Nutter Butter cookies, left, found on Amazon.
- Pyramid cakes: A pyramid cake is an easy choice for the party, but cutting the
cake won't be so easy, so bake individual pyramid cakes. Another option is
to bake a gingerbread pyramid with treats inside. Be sure to decorate with
palm trees and camels.
- Yummy mummy popcorn snack: Fill a sandwich bag with a snack mix of kettle
corn, and sweet and savory treats such gummy worms and pretzel twists.
Secure the bag to a Popsicle stick with tape, wrap in gauze, draw eyes, and
tie with a pretty curling ribbon.
Activities for an Egyptian party
- Make a mummy. Divide the kids in teams to wrap mummy in toilet paper.
Assign five rolls of toilet paper to each team (Scott's brand works well), and
enlist kids to use all the toilet paper to wrap one team member as a mummy.
Kids will quickly have to work in teams to pick the mummy and wrap. Award
prizes for the funniest looking mummy and the quickest to get mummified.
Take pictures of the results for thank you cards.
- Unveil a theme Birthday gift: Present a kitten to the birthday kid, as the
Egyptian considered them sacred.

How to have an Egyptian theme birthday party for kids
Your tween is having a birthday and you're the queen of denial that the big day is
almost here. It's not too late to throw an outrageously cool Egyptian party. The
mystique of King Tut, the glamour of Cleopatra, and the elegance of Nefertiti is yours
with poetic license to incorporate the great pyramids, giant sphinx, ancient mummies,
scarabs, and love of cats. Who cares if there's a few thousand years in between King
Tut and Cleopatra. Here's how to party like an ancient Egyptian:
- Walk like an Egyptian. You're probably already singing the tune, so load your
MP3 player with the '80s classic Bangles song, and from the '70s Steve Martin's
comical "King Tut" to get the party started.
- A golden opportunity. Gold is the mainstay of an Egyptian party (and looks
terrific with royal blue accents), so decorate with gold mylar balloons, displays
of pottery tipped with gold coins,
- Forget the Nile, go to Amazon! A look of chiseled marble, the polyresin, pharoah,
pictured right is under five bucks. Construct paper decorations for your
Egyptian party with punch out books from A.G. Smith. Look or the Egyptian cat
and reasonably priced sphinx figurines as well, all on Amazon:
