Supplies needed:  a small box or shoebox, scissors, crayons, glue,  and construction paper

*Optional Materials:  cotton balls, clay, playdough, sand, pipecleaners, toothpicks, old magazines, postcards that show scenery, and sugar

Your imagination is endless, so when thinking about materials... Be creative!!

Before doing steps 1 and 2, you may want to put your ideas on paper and get a good idea of what you want your diorama to look like.

Step 1:  Design a background setting for the inside of your box, you can use colored paper here or you might use some of your optional goodies.

Step 2:  Create a mountain scene, this is a good time to use clay or playdough.  Sugar can be the tops for snow, cotton balls for clouds, pipecleaners for background plants,...  and so on.

Step 3:  Display your diorama for the rest of the class to enjoy.
