A Kid Rainforest Activity Includes Making a Diorama

3073931505 174269a17e A Kid Rainforest Activity Includes Making a Diorama

With the National Rainforest Week coming up the third week of October, here are some suggestions to plan a kid rainforest activity. Show the kids how to locate the rainforests of Africa, South America, Asia, the Pacific Islands and the Caribbean on a world globe. See if they notice how they are located on or near the equator.

There are hundreds of different and exotic types of animals, insects, reptiles and plants that live in the rainforest. Using a book on rainforest such as Tropical Rainforest by Debbie Depauw, have kids look at photos of the rainforest and its inhabitants. Afterwards have the kids create their own rainforest by making a diorama.
