For my oldests History lesson we have been studying all things Egypt. One of his art projects was to make a Pharaoh's Crook. I knew we'd never be able to make just one, so we made it a family project. Daddy made the crooks out of newspaper/magazine paper and masking tape. The kids then painted their taped crooks the colors of their choosing. They were quite happy with the results and play with them often. And bonus- only some of the times do I have to take them away for improper usage. :)
