Cover the inside of the shoebox and shoebox lid with green paper.
Step 2: DRAW TREES
Draw half of a tree trunk, aligning with the long edge of the paper and branching out. Leave a 2cm space along the edges to create tabs. Cut out the tree.
Step 3: GLUE TO BOX
Fold the tabs and glue them to the edges of the box.
Step 4: ADD LEAVES
Cut foliage out of green paper and glue to the branches and to the edges of the box. For a 3D look, use crumpled green crepe paper.
Step 5: ADD FERNS
Create some ferns and other rainforest plants using plain paper or crepe paper. Glue the plants to the box using a Glu Stik.
Step 6: ADD WILDLIFE
Draw rainforest animals or cut them out from old magazines.
Step 7: MOVE THEM IN
Position the animals inside the diorama. You can glue them onto tree branches, behind the trees, or even on top of the canopy.
