Create a creepy mummy portrait with an unexpected optical illusion using our Mummy Moving Eyes Craft for Kids! This interactive Halloween paper craft creates the illusion that the mummy's eyes are actually following you around the room as you walk past.
 
With this purchase, you'll receive a high-quality black and white printable Mummy Moving Eyes template. Kids can color the mummy and decorative frame using crayons, markers, colored pencils, or paint pens, then carefully cut, fold, and glue the pieces together to create the finished moving-eyes portrait.
 
Once assembled, hang your mummy on a wall, bedroom door, refrigerator, or classroom bulletin board. Walk from one side of the room to the other and watch closely—the mummy's eyes will appear to follow you wherever you go!
 
This project is especially fun for older kids, tweens, and teens who enjoy Halloween crafts that are a little more detailed and challenging than a traditional coloring page.
