AMAZING GEOGRAPHY LANDFORMS TRIORAMA TUTORIAL
You will need:
- Cardstock
- Colored pencils, crayons,etc…
- Scissors
- Glue stick
First, if your cardstock already happens to be a square you are ready to go.
If not you can turn your rectangle into a square easily by bringing one corner down even with the bottom of the page.
Press the crease in firmly with the edge of the scissors or a craft stick.
Cut excess off along the edge and you have a square.
Fold the opposite corners together and press in the crease to form an x with the folds.
Open the paper and cut from one corner up to the center.
Mark one of the triangles with an x, this one will be the base and will not be drawn on, this helps your child to know which one will be hidden.
Have your child choose 3 different landforms and draw an example of each of the 3 remaining triangles.
Also, it is much easier to draw and color on the flat paper rather than try to do it on the 4D triorama.
Then add titles.
Fold the x underneath the base of the opposite triangle and secure with glue.
You can use this quick and easy method to highlight more landforms or use it for a variety of other science, history, and literature topics.
Finally, be sure to check out the other triorama ideas on my site.
