In design and technology, year 4/5 have been making canopic jars. In ancient times, canopic jars were used to store the organs of a body before it was mummified. The pupils made their jars out of paper and paste, and painted them to decorate. They look just like the real thing!

The canopic jars look super. Were they difficult to make? Perhaps you could you put the instructions on the web site?
