Introducing the Dr. Jane Goodall Binoculars!

Unleash the spirit of exploration and environmental stewardship in your students with our specially crafted DIY binoculars kit, inspired by the legendary Dr. Jane Goodall. This activity is designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and a love for the wonders of the natural world.

Step 1: Gather Materials

Materials Needed:

1. Two empty toilet paper rolls
2. Template
3. Glue or tape
4. String or yarn
5. Hole punch
6. Scissors
7. Markers, stickers, or other decorative items (optional)

Step 2: Decorate the Toilet Paper Rolls

• Use earthy tones or natural colors to represent the environment.
• Cut out pictures of animals, especially primates like chimpanzees, from magazines or printouts, and glue them onto the binoculars.

Step 3: Connect the Toilet Paper Rolls

Step 4: Create Eyepieces

On one end of each toilet paper roll, make a small hole using a hole punch or by carefully poking it with scissors. Make sure the holes are aligned.

Step 5: Attach String

Cut a length of string or yarn, approximately 12-18 inches long. Thread one end through the hole in one toilet paper roll and tie a knot inside to secure it. Repeat with the other side.

Step 6: Decorate Further (Optional)

• Add quotes from Dr. Jane Goodall or information about her conservation efforts.
• Draw or glue pictures of forests and wildlife habitats on the binoculars.

Step 7: Have Fun Exploring!

Now your Dr. Jane Goodall-themed binoculars are ready for action. Encourage the kids to use their binoculars to observe and appreciate nature, just like Dr. Jane Goodall did in her pioneering work with chimpanzees. This theme not only adds a fun and educational element to the craft but also instills a sense of environmental awareness.
