Milo the mummy has wrapped himself up for Halloween fun. A few of his bandages wiggle as he walks from house to house. Color his costume and candy bag before he continues trick-or-treating!
Milo the mummy is all wrapped up and ready to visit houses for Halloween treats. A few loose bandages wiggle as he walks, giving his costume a funny, bouncy look. He carries a candy bag for the goodies he hopes to collect along the way. This is a playful mummy, not a scary one! Use your colors to make Miloโs nighttime trick-or-treat route feel festive, safe, and full of surprises.
Mummy bandages can be creamy white, light gray, or tan, with soft brown shadows between the wrapped strips. Make Miloโs candy bag bright orange, purple, or green so it is easy to spot. Color any sweets in the bag with shiny wrapper colors, such as red, turquoise, and yellow. A dark blue background, orange pumpkins, and a moonlit path will create a wonderful Halloween evening around him.
Mummies are bodies that were carefully dried so they could last for a very long time. Ancient Egyptians made mummies as part of their beliefs and burial customs. They wrapped bodies in long strips of linen, a cloth made from flax plants. The silly mummy costume seen at Halloween is based on those old wrappings, but it is only pretend. Real mummies belong in museums and history lessons, not candy lines!
