Pyramid Making Kids Activity

Pyramids and Ancient Egypt are quite exciting for kids. The pyramids and mummies and all the ancient writing can sure captivate their young minds. This activity is a great way to show children what the pyramids were and how they were made.

Things Needed to Make A Pyramid

Box of Sugar Cubes

Frosting
Surface to put your pyramid on such as a plate or piece of cardboard. You may cover your cardboard with tinfoil if you like.

Pyramid Kids Activity Directions

Take your sugar cubes and frost the bottom of each and stick it to the surface or the sugar cube beneath it.

You may make your pyramid as big as you like, but for this example we are showing one with FOUR cubes across and down. Make a square 4 x 4

The next layer make it one less than the one beneath it. So, for this one, make the square 3 x 3. Then the next layer will be 2 x 2 square and then 1 on top.

This is a really fun activity. You may also like to tell your kids about the pyramids as you make it, or before, so they know what they are building. Check out this fun website I found that talks all about the Pyramids.
