Featuring the beautiful Uluru desert landscape with the stunning colors of sunset along with a night scene overlay showing the moonlit rock. Includes both a color and a black and white diorama template complete with scenery and animals.

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

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 heart of Dreamtime Australia!!

The set can also be used in a sand tray (depicting the desert sand). The red sand used in the preview pictures came from a pet supplies store, where it is sold for use in reptile habitats.
