In our coloring page, you see a large, artistically carved statue, used as a playground by children – some boy or girl may have sought refuge in the goddess's face and imagined stories of adventures on the Nile. In ancient Egypt, children often played with clay dolls, buttons, and rattles. Finds show that they loved simple board games or brought small wooden animals to jump. The colorful wall paintings in tombs show how lively and playful the youngest ones were even back then. Bastet's temple in the Delta, especially in Bubastis, attracted pilgrims from all parts of the land. Festivals in her honor began with music, dance, and a grand parade, where children also marched with their own small offerings.
