The understory layer of the rainforest is a dark place with small trees and bushes. We made monkey masks, orchids and a tree frog this week. The kids also learned that chocolate is made from coca trees that grown in the shade of taller trees. Cocoa trees grow cocoa pods that have beans inside them. The cocoa beans are dried and made into delicious treats! We at M&M's for a special chocolate treat!
Orchids grow on tree trunks in the understory. They grow in a variety of patterns, colors and sizes. Orchids grow well in the Amazon rainforest because of the warm, humid climate. We used paper, pipe cleaners, and tissue paper to create our orchids.
We finished letter Mm and started Pp.
