Our middle son who is 9 has a school project about animals and he chose to do his report on beavers. He was supposed to make a shoe box dio and that was just not good enough for me so he has now put together this dio for his school report. He will show it in class and give a report in front of class about it. He will set it up and I said he will have about 20 minutes to put it together. He first drew a blue print on the idea and then built it. Now that it is built he will box it up and have it all ready .

at first I brought out all the relevant parts

here you can see how it is a mature pond as he has also built in canals that the beavers use to get food. The trees are all the same at the beginning and the end but where the pond is all the tall trees have been resorted to stumps. Once the beavers eat the main trees diffrent species move in . Eventually the beavers run out of appropriate food and will abandon the site.

Not a lot of time to take good perspective shots, running out the door, but I took this one with bad back light

I asked his if he wanted me to order a whole bunch of beavers and then we would put a fence around it and call it a beaver farm. In the shed there would have been dozens hanging and being processed. Pelts, meat, beaver tail hats etc..... You know typical american capitalistic situation. He got angry :P then I said, "Ok how about a log-house next to the pond and a red-neck who lives there has a hunting platform in the tree and shoots the rodents" :P he did not like that either :lol:
I think he will like the idea of making beaver pups out of guinea pigs for the lodge. Inside the lodge there is a stork nest to show how cozy the beavers live.

Really great project! Looks like an A to me. I remember when I was about his age, having to do a project showing the habitats of different forest animals, and beavers were one of the ones I did. I wish I had had playmobil to use!

It's a great project with a very nice presentation. Definitely an A for your son. Well done.
Thanks a lot for your pictures.

Well today was our sons presentation and oral report on beavers. We had 10 minutes to set it up. We like how the water and grass turned out and the kids all loved it. The teacher was very happy about the whole thing.

and one quick one of the habitat diorama, I will take some more detailed focused ones when we reset it up at the house. When it was time to go all we did is grabbed the tarp and lifted it all up and walked out. The kids thought it took days to set up and were shocked when we tore it all down it 2 seconds :lol:
