Penguin Diorama

Directions:

1. Glue construction paper to the inside and outside of the shoe box. Use ribbon to hide the edges of the box.

2. Line the inside bottom of the box with felt to create a snow scene.

3. Cut pieces of Puffy Clouds Border and adhere them to the back of the box to create the background clouds.

4. Cut out an igloo-shaped piece of felt, and decorate it with glitter. Glue the igloo to the back of the box. Add pom-poms to the inside of the box for snowballs.

5. Cut pieces of Waves of Blue Border, and glue them to the bottom of the box, standing them upright and staggering them to create waves.

6. Attach string to Snowflake Calendar Cut-Outs, and hang them from the top of the box.

7. To create the penguin puppets, cut a cardboard toilet paper roll into 1" pieces. Take a 1" piece and cut two slits on opposite sides of the roll. Stand the Penguin Designer Cut-Out upright by putting it inside the slits of the roll. Decorate the base with ribbon.

8. Use a computer to print the title of your masterpiece. Glue the title to a cloud from Clouds Designer Cut-Outs, and glue the cloud to the top of the box. Use your diorama to discuss your book report at school.
