Our boys love learning about the ancient Egyptian times and they have been talking about the Egyptian Pyramids for a while now. When I told them we could make an Egyptian pyramid from sugar cubes, they were really excited.

Egyptian Pyramid 3 a

I purchased a small box of sugar cubes from Woolworths which we used. First they tried to make a small pyramid, 3×3 which was good, so we went bigger.

They decided on a 5×5 pyramid. They placed the bottom layer first, 5 sugar cubes long and 5 sugar cubes wide and then filled in the middle.

For the next layer, they went 4 x 4 sugar cubes, coming in slightly from the edge. The next layer was 3×3 and then 2×2 and then finally the last sugar cube on top.

They did try a 7×7 pyramid, but we didn’t have enough sugar cubes. We didn’t glue our pyramids together, but if you wish too, use a good tacky glue as normal glue is too liquid and your sugar cubes will melt. You could also try using icing as mortar to glue your bricks together.
