Water Cycle or Rain Cycle Diorama

Rain Cycle

My daughter had the theme Rain cycle in school and wanted to take something to present in class.This Rain cycle diorama has an origami swan in orange [her favorite color!], a mountain,clouds,fish in the sea and a hanging origami butterfly.

Water Cycle

She learnt to explain the rain cycle- you can see the silver rain drops falling from the cloudy sky onto the river below. My daughter stuck tiny fish in the ocean and some snow[ cotton ] on the mountain peaks.I let her cut out the greenery for this Water cycle diorama and she beautified her mountain with flowers!

I hope our simple diorama can help your kid in his or her school project.
