Diurnal / Nocturnal Animal Craft | Diorama Desert Habitat

Papercraft Arizona desert habitat diorama project with both day and night scenes and diurnal and nocturnal animals. Featuring the beautiful Arizona desert landscape with a moonlit night scene overlay. Includes both a color and a black and white diorama template complete with scenery, cactus and animals.

Kids will go wild for this fun animal habitat activity! Perfect to complement your studies on desert habitats and the diurnal and nocturnal animals who live there. Bring learning to life with this hands-on craft activity that will take children to the heart of the desert biome.

Includes 3D paper burrows for the nocturnal animals to hide inside during the 'day'.

Children can easily build their own habitat diorama by cutting and gluing the pieces. Includes the base and background scene so you can create a stand alone diorama, or paste into a box to create a box diorama. You can also use the scenery to create a centre to use with your own animal toys, playdough or use the paper animals in your sand tray or block corner. Endless possibilities for fun on your journey to the arid desert!!

The set can also be used in a sand tray (depicting the desert sand).
