| Step 1 Lay down some green construction paper in your empty box. You can paint the bottom as well. |
| Step 2 Use your play dough to make a mountain. |
| Step 4 Paint the top of the mountain white with snow. |
| Step 5 Use light blue to show the melted snow trickling down the mountain side. |
| Step 3 Using your fingers press into the mountain down the side to make a groove |
| Step 6 Pinch together the sides of your mountain around the groove so that the trickle looks more inside. |
| Step 7 Draw out our stream and turn it into a river, then the ocean. Add in a couple of playdough hills. |
| Many children are visual learners and the use of models is a great way to introduce important information. Making a landform diorama helps children see the differences between each of the landforms you study. |
| Step 10 Use some more playdough to make an island in the middle of your ocean. |
| Step 8 Find some moss to make your forests and glue them in the box near your mountain. |
| Step 9 Here's what we have so far. |
| Step 11 Use sandpaper to make a bit of desert in the corner. Our paper is white so we painted it tan. |

| Step 13 Get out some sticky labels and write the names of the different landforms you created. |
| Step 12 Glue it in the corner and brush a little dry ground around it. |
| Step 13 Put your diorama on display! These were done for my KG and 2nd grader, but older children can certainly add in many more landforms. |
