Davis has been in summer school a few days a week and came home with the most adorable craft yesterday!! I have to show you:

Yes, that is a fish bowl!! SO cute and creative. And, what a great idea for something to do inside on these unbearably HOT days.

Let’s discuss how to do this at home. It doesn’t look hard, right?!!

Supplies:

Construction Paper

Markers

One Ziploc Sandwich Bag

Aquarium Gravel

Fish Stickers

Crinkle Paper Shreds

How To:

1. Cut out your aquarium shape out of construction paper. I would simply cut it in the size of a fish bowl and then cut the center out. Decorate it however you wish with markers!

2. Have your babe fill the Ziploc bag 1/3 of the way full with aquarium gravel:

Just drop by Pet Smart…this is $3.99!

3. Layer paper shreds on top of the gravel:

(You can buy this in bulk very inexpensively from Paper Mart. Great if you have multiple fun craft ideas!)

4. Have your babe place the fishy stickers in front of the crinkle paper and all around the Ziploc bag:

(I love a good Amazon find!! I bet you can find them at Targ or Walmart, however.)

5. Zip the bag closed and staple the bag in between the two construction paper aquarium cut-outs. Done and DONE!

I wish I could take full credit for this idea but I would be remiss if I did! Davis’ teacher, Miss Melissa, brought the idea to his class. Thanks, Melissa! I am going to order some other supplies similar to this for another fun project…I’ll tell you about this zoo related craft soon!

Have a great Thursday!
