Paper Plate Aquarium
Materials:
  • Tissue Paper
  • Googly Eyes
  • Yarn
  • Paint
  • Glitter
  • Paper Plates or Clean Meat Trays
  • Plastic Wrap
Directions:
  • Give the kids a paper plate (or meat tray) and have them create an aquarium scene on the top side of the plate. Then over that plate tape a second plate (or meat tray) that you have cut out a hole at the top (can cover with Plastic wrap). This makes it look like your looking into an aquarium.


Salt and Freshwater Animals
Make a salt water solution and dye it with food coloring. Fill the jar half full of salt solution and then slowly pour plain tap water on top of the solution. The salt water will stay at the bottom of the solution because it is heavier. Release a couple of small brine shrimp (check a pet store) and a goldfish into the solution. The shrimp will go to the seawater bottom while the goldfish will stay at the top (freshwater).

I'm A Little Fishy
(Sung to: I'm a little tea pot)

I'm a little fishy
watch me swim
Here is my tail
Here is my fin
When I want to have fun with my friends
I wiggle my tail an dive right in

Cardboard Submarine
Build a submarine by attaching several boxes and making small doors for your children to go from box to box.
