Tree Cutouts for the Rainforest Diorama
The trees in a rainforest are so tall and they form such an impenetrable barrier that it is difficult to see what lies beyond them. There’s no sign of life anywhere – not even any small animals or insects! This area has been called “the lungs of the Earth.”
Some of the most biodiverse forests on Earth are found in Amazon. The rainforests harbor an incredible array and variety both morphologically as well ecologically, with many different tree species proving themselves to be essential parts for maintaining a healthy ecosystem by providing shade or nourishment from their roots – without them we would face starvation during hot days!
The diorama should be made to look like a real rainforest, with layers of different plants and trees.
-Include a river or stream in the diorama, along with animals that live in the rainforest.
-Make sure to use materials that are environmentally friendly and safe for children.
-The diorama can be used to teach about the rainforest ecosystem and how it functions.
