Make your own habitat

Saturday, August 16th, 2008 | Uncategorized | 1 Comment

I love it when I come across an idea that is so very ingenious and yet so very simple that I must, just must, find some opportunity to re-create it! This summer while visiting the zoo the kids played with a set of seemingly random items put together by the zoo to be used to make ‘habitats’. Each storage box contained a cut out of green and blue indoor/outdoor carpeting to represent water and land and then an assortment of various other props. Add in a hefty dose of a child’s imagination and maybe a few small toys (I’m dreaming of little bendy fairies and needle felted animals) and you have endless possibilities!
