I’ve been wanting to make some DIY Truffula Trees for a while now. The animated movie The Lorax is one of my children’s favorites and this weekend I finally got around to making some using recycled materials. A truffula tree is a fictional tree from the book written by Dr. Seuss.
In the book, the truffula trees, along with all other plants and animals except one lonely old Lorax was destroyed by industrial activity. I am not sure this type of tree would be able to survive in real life (as they don’t exist) but they seemed to do alright in the story so I thought what better reason could there be than to bring them home as a bit of fun?
