I might have said this before, but Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak is my favorite book. Ever. It has a special place in my heart, as it was my mom's favorite children's book. My mother was an elementary school teacher and gifted me the love of reading at an early age. She was so creative and inspiring, truly one of the very best...and I was so blessed to learn from her. Whenever someone had a baby, she would buy the hard cover of this book and give it to them. It was the first book she gave her grandson, my baby. My mom passed away a few years ago, so this book for me is a little bit of her. And I have taken over the tradition of purchasing this book for the babies in my life.

Maurice Sendak
A long time ago, I read about an old-fashioned toy called a matchbox jack-in-the-box. When you tug on a string the inside box pops open to reveal a little baby hidden inside. I wanted to adapt it for Halloween fun. The first challenge: finding an actual old-fashioned matchbox. These are tough to locate. If anyone knows where you buy matchboxes in bulk we would love to know because I found this one in the back of a drawer at our summer cottage! Materials matchbox or make something similar out of very thin tag board using this template sarcophagus image sized to match the box. Ours is 1.5 x 2 inches. Look online and you will find lots to choose from, or draw your own. embroidery floss pretty bead double stick tape black permanent marker gold paint pen big needle note card or white scrap paper school glue Steps Use double stick tape or glue to attach your sarcophagus picture to the front of the matchbox. Cover the sides and the back of the box with strips of white paper, using glue. Color everything black using the marker. Color the inside of the matchbox using the gold paint pen. Leave the sides of the inside box bare so they will be able to slide in and out easily. Make a mummy. I used polymer clay and a pasta machine to make lots of thin pliable strips of clay, then just wrapped them into a mummy shape. Follow the baking instructions, then after it cools, glue on some beads for eyes or draw some using a thin marker. Remove the inside box and use a needle with embroidery floss to poke through one side of the box and out the other side. Pull the thread through and leave a few inches length. Tie a bead on and knot the pully. You can now insert the matchbox and try to make it jump out by pulling the thread. Ours works best if you pull out from the two sides rather than down. If you are really dedicated to good sliding you could put some wax on the sides and see if this makes it smoother.
