simple food chain
2009 October 12
Araina is fascinated with the food chains of different animals and plants. She is also very crafty with our big box of recyclables, felt scraps, markers and tape. Put the two together and she made this little food chain over the weekend- owl, mouse, and cheese. However, I’m not sure if this food chain will actually take place, the mouse appears to be smiling!
Check out this neat food chain game which we stumbled upon over the weekend. It’s a very fun site which includes decomposers in some of the food chains.

I do Can call it Simply Wonderful is a good way on recycling stuffs. I do like to recycle stuff, have developed a recycling Eye (everything looks different through those glasses, I do not even know what to throw!..
I have been making some recycling stuff out of spaghetti packages. Here in my blog http://imagessonnets.blogspot.com/ is a bit more detailed , there is
my spaghetti package`s ribbon.

way to go araina!!
That is absolutely gorgeous- it’s given me a great big smile!
Thanks, that game was a lot of fun, and I love the little animals!
Very cute! looks like something my 6 yr old would create. He’s a whiz with the cereal boxes
I am so proud of her
oh how wonderful! I love when children take a scientific concept and express it with art! It is so cute, I may just want to take this idea and use it when my babies are old enough! Love the use of recycled materials! Thank you!
I think she’s got the concept down…LOL Love the smiling mouse.
That is so cute. Thanks for the link. We like this game too:

Sweet animal figures!
These little creations are so precious
Oh how sweet. Thank you for sharing!
Adorable! Maybe the mouse will eat the cheese, then turn the tables and eat the owl too… Perhaps that is why it is smiling.
sweet. i love recycled art!

Soooo cute.
Yup– that mouse definitely looks like “the canary who fooled the mouse.”
The mouse might be smiling but not the cheese! I just love how she made these… the sticky tape is just my favourite!
Blessings and magic to your clever Little Lady.
How dear is that? For some reason it reminds me of the story The Marzipan Pig (have you ever read it? It’s beautifully macabre).
I agree. That mouse looks a wee bit too happy.
That’s really cute! Araina’s such a creative little lady!
Very creative. I know the mice that live around us wish they weren’t so low on the food chain (or maybe they just wish our cats would move away).:)
