Here is a terrific little diorama made for kids. The artist/builder is Jason Gage and he made this for his 6 year old son. It came out absolutely terrific.
Something like this is a fun and creative project that I think will light up a child's creativity.
. He did it using paper mache which is an easy and inexpensive way to make a scene like this. He used equal parts of water/flour/ elmers glue.
He suggests that if you are using thin plywood as a base, you should lacquer or somehow waterproof it. Otherwise, the paper mache will warp the board into a crescent.
Here are some pictures. |
