Paper Plate Fish Tank
Crafted By Charlotte
Grades: k-3
Materials:
-2 paper plates
-colored paper! (Green for the seaweed and any color for fish)
-acrylic or tempera paint
-scissors
-glue
-dental floss or thin string
-q-tip (optional)
Location: any table or counter top with paper down for the paint!
Steps:
Paint the inner circle of one of your plates blue! Leave a little area at the bottom to paint brown or yellow for the sand.
Wait for paint to dry.
Use green construction paper to use for the seaweed. Cut out 3-5 pieces for the ocean floor and glue onto paint as long as the paint is dry.
Create your fish! They can be any shape, size, and color so have some fun with it! I decided to do an angel fish, a seahorse, and my own simple fish.
Cut them out and either glue directly to the plate OR tie them to dental floss and hang from the top of the plate so they float in front.
Then, cut out the inner circle of the second plate and flip over to lay on top of the first plate. This you will glue to the rim of the first plate and now you have a 3-D effect. Feel free to paint the outer edge of the rim on top to decorate! I covered mine with starfish to fit in with the underwater theme.
Bubble Wands and Bubble Mix
Mixed Up By Jen
Grades: K-5
Materials:
cotton twine
straws
scissors
liquid dish soap
light corn syrup
shallow tub/container
Directions:
Take two straws and cut off the bendy parts. Next take a piece of twine, the larger the piece the larger your bubble maker will be, and thread it through the two straws. Shape your wand into a rectangle with the two straws on opposite sides serving as handles.
Mix up a bubble solution of two and a half cups water, one cup of dish soap, and one quarter cup of corn syrup. Stir this into a shallow tub, making sure to mix the solution well. Hold your wand slack and dip it into the solution, then lift it out, pull it tight, and blow!
Drawing Bubbles
Drawn Up By Meg
Grade Level: K-5
Individual or multiple people: Either!
Theme: Art
Materials:
Washable markers
Plain paper
Soft paint brush
Small bowl of water
Pencil
Location: Table
Links and resources: Check out for step by step instruction: https://www.kitchentableclassroom.com/how-to-draw-bubbles/?jwsource=cl
Further instructions or accommodations:
Trace a variety of circles with your pencil on the paper-you can use pretty much anything to trace: small bowl, a jar, cup, etc.
Now with your pencil add a reflection to each bubble by making a sliced triangle shape at the top of each bubble
After you’ve traced all your bubbles and added reflections, it’s time to add some color!
Use your marker to partially outline the bubbles
Now dip your paintbrush in the water and “paint” over your outlines of the bubbles and the reflection outlines
The colors will start to move and make your bubbles look more “bubble-like”
