Sticker Aquariums
Posted on: May 25, 2009
(This is a very easy craft and non-messy. The boys loved doing this so much that we’ve done it several times and I’m working on new ideas.)
Things you need:
- Blue construction paper (or water looking scrapbook paper)
- Sea stickers
- Markers (optional)
- Plastic wrap
- Tape
Give the child the piece of paper and the stickers to create an underwater theme.
Pretty water paper (blue construction paper works just as well)
If the child wants, (s)he can draw seaweed, sand, and any other sea creatures.
No markers here
When the child is done, cover the paper with plastic wrap to give the illusion that one is looking into an aquarium. Tape the plastic wrap onto the paper.
A "wrapped" aqurium. Notice the feeding frenzy in the top one?

(Sometimes you just want to spruce up that gift bag, and sometimes you need an activity for a party. I first did these with elementary school children at a Halloween party with all kinds of art supplies. Then we did them at Sean’s birthday party with two three-year-olds and a two-year-old. Every child I have done this with has enjoyed it.)
Things you need:
- Plain gift bags (any color)
- Crayons, markers, stickers, glitter, glue, what ever you want to decorate with
Give a bag to the child. Let the child decorate it. (Totally easy and potentially mess free.)
Can you figure out who did what?
