Savannah's Nile River

One of the many projects Savannah has worked on over the past month was building a miniature Nile river. She lined a baking foil pan with a strip of foil the shape of the Nile river, then she put potting soil around the edges and poured little pebbles over the foil area. She then sprinkled grass seed on the soil and poured two pictures of water into it. Within a day or two the water evaporated and the seeds sprouted and grew. After a few days she built tiny pyramids out of clay and little boats to put inside the replica. She regularly floods it and loves to watch how the water goes up onto the banks. She has also made scented Egyptian oil, ancient clay dwellings, a ming bowl and several other fun things.
