Microhabitat foldable craft A fun craft activity for younger pupils, designed to get them thinking about microhabitats and the animals that live there. This resource is a 6 page PDF. It looks at 3 microhabitats; a rockpool, under leaves and a flower bed. There are 2 templates for each microhabitat so they can either colour the animals already included or research and draw their own. Print on A4 paper or card. Once they have coloured a template, children can cut it out and fold using the instructions provided. Some children may need assistance with this part and it’s a good idea to have a pre-made example. Once folded, they can then ‘hide’ the animals away by closing the template, and then pull it gently apart to reveal what’s inside.
