Please throw away your trash!

Background

Draw your name. Don't write the letters. :)

At times, different words sound the same but mean different things (for example: to and two). Egyptians added additional hieroglyphic characters to help sort out the meaning of the words. These added symbols are what make hieroglyphics so tough to learn. But for spelling our names we won't need to worry about them.

Also, keep in mind that the Egyptians didn't always spell from left to right. Sometimes they stacked things.
