Friday Fun Links – all about Egypt!
As has become the Friday routine at NanaHood, it’s Char here, with your Friday Fun Links post…
This morning I sat down at my PC to find “fun links” for you, and I had four different browser windows open on four different King Tut websites. Why King Tut, you ask? Well, because my son is obsessed with King Tut and all things Egyptian. And yesterday he wanted to write a special message in hieroglyphics, but was destraught when he couldn’t find his special “hieroglyphics code” worksheet. Google to the rescue!
We have actually been spending a LOT of time “in Egypt” lately – the Natural History Museum here in Las Vegas opened up a new King Tut exhibit last weekend, and Samuel has been there three times already since they opened it. I wondered briefly, on the third visit, if he would be “bored”… but no. The exhibit has only fueled the fire for his obsession. In fact, we are planning a very special King Tut themed birthday party for later this month… AT the museum!
All THAT to say, today’s fun links are a little different than normal (whatever that is)… and I am going to share some fun “kid-friendly” Egyptian links for you (since I apparently can’t get away from them anyway).

And just a little P.S.

We’re even hoping to share a video or two! Stay tuned… and HAPPY FRIDAY!
