Kindergarten - Recycled Paper Cabins

I read the book "Henry Builds A Cabin", which uses a bear as a cartoon of the writer and conservationist Henry David Thoreau.
The story highlights his ability to build a cabin for only $28.00,
and refers to recycling old parts to build it.

The actual Henry David Thoreau cabin, and sculpture,
made to commemorate his achievement,
located in Concord, Massachusetts.

Students used a natural glue known as wheat paste,
to attach pieces of scrap paper together to form their cabin.
We discussed the conservation aspects to using natural glue as opposed to regular glue.
