Glue white butcher paper to the interior walls of a cardboard box. Draw a wooded habitat on the left wall of the box, including trees, low bushes and berry brambles. Coyotes build dens in and around the bushes and will eat the ripened berries off the brambles. Draw a small hill with a hole in it for your coyote den. Fashion small replicas of coyote pups from clay and glue them on the floor of the diorama representing the members of a coyote family. Include small animals such as rabbits, mice and ground birds in the scene as foods the coyotes eat. Add a deer or other large mammal in the wall scene to represent the animals coyote packs will hunt in the colder months when small animals are harder to locate. Color in the details on the wall with markers.
Draw an open prairie field on the back wall with lots of tall grass where small animals such as rabbits, prairie dogs, snakes and mice may hide. Include a country road with a miniature car glued on it passing through the prairie where the animals may locate and eat trash thrown from passing cars. Glue small balls of craft paper near the road for trash. Glue pictures of coyotes howling or hunting on the wall. Attach other coyote pictures to small lumps of clay and hide the pictures in patches of artificial grass located on both sides of the road. Use markers to add color to the details.
Draw an urban city on the right wall with large parks, small ponds and golf course areas where coyotes may find small prey and places to build dens. Draw in trees and bushes where the coyotes might hide from humans who would hunt or trap them. Include trash cans in the park areas that coyotes can knock over and forage for human food. Add small home garden plots that the coyote could plunder for vegetables and fruits such as watermelons. Include pictures of small cats and dogs, frogs, snakes and mice on the diorama floor near the city as representatives of prey the coyote might eat. Add miniature homes and farm equipment on the right side of the diorama floor. Glue pictures of miniature sheep and chickens near the homes representing foods coyotes eat in the areas between the prairie and populated areas.
