For their last month of school, the first graders project is taking the students to the Ocean waters. The kids were asked to allow their imagination go wild and create their own Ocean scene in a box.
Materials/Tools Needed
- Cardboard
- Hand drawn scenes
- Blue Construction Papers
- Scissors
- Synthetic Plants
- Stones
- Fish cutout (from drawings or Magazine)
- Card stock
- Markers
- Glue Gun and Glue Sticks
- Fishing Wire
Step by Steps:
- Decide on the shape of box you want.
- For background, draw a scene on a blue construction paper, cut it out then glue inside box.
- Draw Sea creatures on paper, cardboard or simply cut out shapes out of magazines.
- Use fishing wire to make free-floating fish by taping them to the top of the box and the body of the fish.
- Hot glue the stones and synthetic plants on the floor of the diorama.
It was another fun project which my Son completed with the assistance of his Father and Sister.
