Piranha Diorama

Bailey's class is studying the rainforest this month. One of her assignments was to create a diorama. She chose the piranha from a list supplied by her teacher. I removed the back of the shoe box and Bailey replaced it with a mixture of glue and blue food coloring. The piranha is made from clay that we baked to get hard. Bailey then painted it to look like a piranha. The bottom of the box Bailey spread glue and topped with sand. White glue wouldn't hold the plants, so I hot glued in the greens. It turned out great! She will turn it in for a grade this Friday.
