Let's explore the tropical rain forest!
It's green, vibrant, hot, and humid.
Are you ready for an adventure?
I know the kids were when we started this trip deep into the rain forest.
For this diorama, the kids used more shoe boxes, construction paper, paint, leaves and flowers, glass pebbles, and plastic animals to create their forest scenes. Almost all of the supplies we've used for this fun dioramas came from the dollar store or from our own craft bin. I loved how the kids drew their own pictures by using books for guides.
Tropical flowers and poisonous frogs!
Therese even added a hut to her diorama.
We found a few fun sites to explore and some worksheets to help us learn about the different layers of the rain forest.
Rain Forest Canopy Worksheet and a bunch of other sheets for older kids
Of course we checked out books from our local library. We LOVE the library. I can't tell you how much money it has saved us over the years during our homeschooling journey.
Books about the rain forest....
A fun read along for younger kids is the Magic Tree House book Afternoon on the Amazon and the research guide Rainforests. We read this years ago when the kids were little. we did a unit study all ab out the rain forest. They loved reading these book aloud together!
Till Next Time,
Monique
