Desert Scene
Materials:- Paint
- Paper
- Various Other Art Supplies
- Give your children the
materials and tell them to create a desert scene.
Some great scenes that my children have done are: - One child used different colored chalks (red, pink, purple, and yellow) to make streaks (sunset) on black paper while gluing on green cactuses.
- Another child painted a ghost town.
Desert Sensory Table
Make your sand table into a desert sensory table. Add fake cactuses and fake
lizards.

Cactus Garden
Buy several cactus from a local store and let your children explore them. Be sure to tell them not to touch as cactus can hurt.
