"The Lorax"

Of course I couldn't leave out "The Lorax".

Materials You Will Need:
-Pipe Cleaners
-Scissors
-Fluffy colored balls (for the tree tops)
-Play Do
-Foam piece (to hold trees up)

Again, I had "trial runs" and realized gluing the fluffy colored balls onto the pipe cleaners with a glue gun wasn't user friendly for young children. So I decided to go with UGG Glue Dots. We Put the glue dots on the place where the fuzzy ball and pipe cleaner met. Even with the glue dots the children needed help. After we had the trees put together I let the children put the Play Doh on the styrofoam piece, they had a lot of fun with this. The children really enjoyed this, and they ended up with some very colorful Truffula trees.












The finished Truffula trees.



I took the picture of the book "The Lorax" from Google Images. I used pictures as my technology for this post.
