Farm Shoebox Diorama Printable Pack

September 15, 2015 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

We started our dinosaur unit a few days ago, but we’ll be learning about farms soon too! So I put together a simple farm shoebox diorama printable pack that you can make with your kids in just a few minutes!

This activity is a super fun one for creating a farm unit study with young children. Kids can put together their own diorama while learning about common farm animals, equipment, and more!

Read on to see how to get your farm diorama printable pack free! And be sure to grab our free farm animal flashcards while you’re here!

Make a farm shoebox diorama with this free On the Farm Shoebox Diorama Printable Pack!

To use this printable pack, you’ll need: (Affiliate links provided here for convenience. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

  • Printer (with ink)
  • Printer paper
  • Child-safe scissors
  • Glue
  • Shoebox (By the way, if you don’t have a shoebox, you can paste these scenes onto construction paper instead.)

In this pack, you’ll find diorama frames featuring farm objects, including a tractor, a barn, a fenced background, a cow, and a hen with chicks. Plus, there’s a sun you can paste onto the background.

Be sure to cut out the stand-up frames and the smaller squares underneath the pictures as one piece. You’ll fold the smaller square under the top picture to create a 3-d image.

Activities for the Book Hello Ocean: Beach Shoebox Diorama

June 16, 2014 by Selena Robinson 4 Comments

I’m originally from the coast and I miss the beach so much. In fact, I think it actually intensifies as I get older.

So when summer time approaches, my mind lightly turns to thoughts of warm sand, salt air, and waves.

Unfortunately, we live several hours inland now, so a trip to the beach is not always feasible.

But we can always head to the shore with a beach shoebox diorama activity!

This was such a fun summer activity and it only took a few minutes. Plus, it was a great tie-in for a beautiful beachy read-aloud!

I love this book. It’s very simple for young readers and the pictures are absolutely beautiful.

The poetry does an excellent job of capturing the feel of a day at the beach, right down to the taste of the salt water.

After we read the book, we decided to put together a shoebox diorama featuring a beach scene.

This was another of our super simple activities.

We only needed a shoebox, some crayons, scissors, glue, and our printable Day at the Beach Diorama Pack!

The kids colored the bottom and sides of the shoebox using the colors mentioned in the story: grey, blue, and green.

We cut out the background scenes…

and pasted them to the bottom of the shoebox.

Our background is all done, so it’s time to add a few props!

We cut out each upright scene image, including the bottom square, as one piece.

Then we folded the bottom square under to make the image stand up.

After we used a stretched cotton ball as a cloud, we poured a little play sand in the bottom and added our upright images to get a feel for the beach in our dining room! 🙂
