Busy Hands (11): Desert In A Box

When I was invited by Kim of Life Over Cs to write a guest post on her blog, she suggested I create a craft that is inspired by Dubai. Now, this challenge really had me going, and what Little Dude and I made was what Dubai traditionally stood for - the desert.

What we created was a 'desert in a box' or as Kim described on her blog, a biome diorama. According to what I could figure out, biome diorama is a teaching tool in which a 3D model is created to show something in the natural ecosystem, such as a desert or forest or pond.

Here's a sneak peek of what our desert box looked like:
