Long ago, people in Egypt lived by a big river. They believed in magic.
They wore special charms called amulets. One famous charm was the Eye of Horus.
Horus was a sky god. He looked like a strong hawk.
His special eye was a symbol of safety. People wore it to stay healthy and strong.
Now you can make your own eye amulet! Grab some paper and a black crayon.
First, draw a long, curved line like a hill. This is the top of the eye.
Next, draw a curve under it. Make it look like a football.
Then, draw a big circle inside. This is the pupil of the eye.
Now, add a special ancient Egyptian line. Draw a straight line pointing down from the bottom.
Next to that, draw a line that curls like a tail. This represents the eye of a hawk.
Color the eye with bright blue and gold. These were lucky colors in Egypt.
Now you have a protective Eye of Horus! Keep it to bring you good luck.
