This diorama of a forest is fun to make and shows the animals and plants that live in a forest.

Supplies Needed:
  • Shoe box (or similar sized box)
  • Construction paper or tempera paint
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Pencil, crayons
  • Cotton balls (for clouds)
  • Optional: Small plastic animals or plants

Instructions

1.

First make a background in your box. Either use construction paper or tempera paints (the construction paper is easier and less messy) to depict a blue sky, brown soil and green plants. Bits of cotton balls glued to the sky make nice clouds.

2.

Make trees and animals from construction paper cut-outs (or use small plastic models, if you have them). For easy-to-make paper 3-D evergreen trees, click here. Some forest animals include bears, deer, rabbits, foxes, wolves, birds, butterflies, and wild cats. For a page that has coniferous forest (taiga) animal information and pictures, click here. For a page that has temperate deciduous forest animal information and pictures, click here.

Glue the trees and animals onto the diorama.

3.

Cover or paint the outside of the box (if necessary).

Write your name on your diorama. You now have a forest diorama.
