Orang-utans and their Forest Home - a Children's Eco-Art workshop with Rachel Bunney, 17 April 2023

Create an Orang-utan's forest home - using collage with Eco Artist Rachel Bunney

We are going to learn and talk about all forests and the different living creatures and plants that live there right from the forest floor to the high canopies, but we are especially going to talk about our special guest, the orang-utan from Borneo, as he or she is very threatened and in need of our help.

Come colour a forest for your orang-utan to live. Using colour and collage we are going create a forest for our wool orangutan to build his/her nest in.

What to bring: Scissors and glue, wool: variations on orange or whatever colour you want your orangutan to be, coloured pencils, markers or whatever you like to use and collage materials including coloured paper scraps, fabric odds and ends, or natural material so whatever can be glued to paper. Pictures of orangutans to copy. 

Don’t worry if you only have some or none of this list …. Everything will also be provided.

We look forward to meeting and exploring orang-utans with you.

Rain or shine - we have a lovely Eco Shelter. 

Gumboots always suitable.

Bring water and fruit for morning tea.
