Here is a diagram of a terrarium.



















I shared my terrarium with my friend Emma.

Here is a picture simillar to mine.









The Procedure:

1. Get a glass jar or an old transparent tuppaware.

2. Fill your soon to be terrarium with dirt and soil.

3. Spend about 10 minutes in the garden looking for small things to put in your terarrium.

4. You can then put little stick figures in.

5. The best thing to put in your terrarium is some good solid moss.
