Ancient Egypt Cartouche

Have students print out their names or other meaningful text using the Hieroglyphics Generator. Then have students create duplicate the drawing in salt dough using a pencil.

A cartouche is a sign with a hieroglyphic name. We typed our names into the Egyptian Name Translator. Next we printed out the Hieroglyphs.

We made a salt dough mixture by blending 2 cups flour, 1 cup salt, and 3/4 cups of warm water.

We shaped the salt dough into an oval shape. Next we used tooth picks and pencil tips to carve our names into the salt dough.
