Dioramas are a great way to learn about a subject. Dioramas are miniature models that your child makes. Dioramas can be made in shoe boxes, regular boxes, folded paper (make a box or triangle), a paper plate, a display case or any other container that you can think of. You can buy materials for your diorama or you can make your own. Dioramas are great projects for homeschools, classrooms, Sunday Schools, co-ops, clubs and summer camps! This page will give you ideas on what resources to use to make your diorama.

Coloring Pages

Coloring pages are great for dioramas. Cut out the pictures with a tab on the bottom (just an extra rectangle of paper folded to make the picture stand up) and glue into the box. You can also hang cut out pictures from the roof of the box. Use scenic pictures as backgrounds. This page has lots of coloring page suggestions. You may have to reduce or enlarge the page for printing to get the size you want.

P.S. What is The Homeschool Club?

THE HOMESCHOOL CLUB is real parents and kids sharing their best resources for great homeschooling. Each day we celebrate learning by opening doors to a world of creativity, knowledge and discovery. In the car, at the kitchen sink, and down by the frog pond - the whole world is our classroom and we explore it with creative projects, games, and activities. This club is a place to share, organize, and discuss how and what we learn in the world. Make a free page to tell your own homeschooling story and share your favorite resources. We can't wait to hear from you!
