Place a few drops onto the surface of the mummy before starting the chipping or &#8220;excavating&#8221; process. This softens the sand a bit and makes the project easier for kids.<\/p>\n<p>Step 3: Use the wooden tools to chip away the sand. The goal is to reveal the mini mummy inside. You may need to keep applying a few water droplets during the process to moisten the hard sand so it is easer to reveal the mummy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-27141\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sand-mummy-kit.jpg\" alt=\"sand mummy kit\" width=\"600\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sand-mummy-kit.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sand-mummy-kit-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sand-mummy-kit-220x162.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sand-mummy-kit-768x565.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sand-mummy-kit-408x300.jpg 408w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Step 4: Once you start to see the mini mummy inside (it is a white\/tan color), you can use the small brush included in the kit to remove fine particles around it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-27138\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/brushing-the-sand-mummy.jpg\" alt=\"mummy activity kit\" width=\"600\" height=\"408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/brushing-the-sand-mummy.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/brushing-the-sand-mummy-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/brushing-the-sand-mummy-220x150.jpg 220w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/brushing-the-sand-mummy-768x522.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/brushing-the-sand-mummy-441x300.jpg 441w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Step 5: Remove all of the skeleton parts from the sand.
