Making : Tissue Box Fish Tank

14 December 200915 Comments

Anya and Vai love the movie ‘Finding Nemo’. Vai especially is very into sharks and the ocean. AND, we have a little fish tank at home.

And so … we made this tissue box fish tank sometime ago.

(Kind of natural for us to make something that’s related to what the kids like *smile*)

And, it’s relatively straight forward to make, actually.

What we used:

– Used tissue box

– White paper carton

– Crayons and watercolour

– Scissors, thread and scotch tape

What we did:

– I drew a few clown fish, seaweed, a seahorse and a starfish (Before we started, I asked them for the kinds of animals they wish to have in the tank, OTHER than sharks, of course!)

– Then the kids started colouring them (Vai chose to use crayons, while Anya used watercolour)

– While they coloured, I cut out our tissue box’s long rectangular sides’ middle parts (see top picture)

– Once the drawings were all coloured, I cut them out and stick them along a few cut-out threads (used scotch tapes on the fish’s backs)

– Then, using scotch tapes, I stuck the threads onto the inside top part of the tissue box so the fish and seahorse dangled nicely (I taped the seaweed and starfish onto the sides)

THAT’S IT!

And you have a little fish tank in the house that the kids can actually call ‘their own’!
