Wet and Wild
Imaginations take a walk on the wild side when you create your own rainforest.
1. Find out about tropical rainforests and jungles, such as what kinds of animals and plants inhabit these places. Visit zoos or museums with rainforest or jungle displays. Look at the details in famous jungle art, such as "The Waterfall" by Henri Rousseau. Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are is a children's book that can inspire your own wild things. Talk with someone who has been to the rainforest to get their impressions, too.
2. Use your imagination to create a rainforest or jungle on paper. Use Crayola Colored Pencils and Crayons to recreate your own ideas of a rainforest with bursts of brilliant color.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
