Mrs. Colgan's class, the Rain Forest Tree in the making. Using a over sized, hollow, paperboard tube; we painted it, I poked random large holes, put it up in a burlap wrapped christmas tree stand. The kids took turns putting the sticks they gathered earlier in the tube. Leaves next...then life size creatures. So much fun!
Thank you Mrs. Colgan for having me in your class to be part of your Rain Forest education!
Recycled Shopping Bags:Earth,I made with used shopping bags and cereal bags. I balled them up, taped with heavy duty tape and covered with fabric scrap because I sew. I also made these Earths for a 1st grade classroom; they decoupaged and painted them. Covering with scrap paper/magazines/newspapers would be fun too.
