What you'll need: 1 blue sheet of construction paper (or white sheet of paper colored with a thin coat of blue color) for the sky background, a green saguaro shape (a parent can cut it out from here), a brown mountain shape, a strip of yellow sand (you can let your child cut them, they are easy) and a round yellow sun.
