Paper Pyramid Craft

For over a thousand years, Egyptians built pyramids as tombs for their pharaohs (kings and queens).  There are over 90 royal pyramids in Egypt... 35 of them major works.

It's easy to build a small model of a pyramid.  Use it as a standalone decoration or include in a diarama.

 

Materials:

 

Instructions:

Print template of choice.

OR
  
You can make your own template by making four identical equilateral triangles (with small tabs on the side for gluing)
  
Fold dotted line tabs.
  
OPTIONAL:  You can cut out triangles from thin cardboard and back the template pieces with these to make the project sturdier.
  
Glue tab of one triangle to tab free side of the next triangle.
  
Repeat until all triangles are attached.
  
OPTIONAL:
  • Cover entire pyramid with a coat of glue
  • sprinkle sand over top
  • if you decide to use the sand, you should make sure you backed the template pieces with thin cardboard or the pyramid will collapse under the weight
