We started this project on a beautiful, sunny day at the end of September…

We used torn brown paper bags, Styrofoam chicken trays and a mixture of white glue and water to papier mache the bases for our Wigwam projects. We sprinkled the finished base with bark mulch to give it more detail.

Next we used our own paper birch bark to make our wigwams.

When the shelters were built, we used plasticene to add people, animals and plants found in the Eastern Canadian forests.
