Homemade Aquarium

I did this activity with my little ones. It was fun and once again, it uses household items.

This activity is good for following directions (one step and two step), repeating and motor skills. If you wanted to use it for articulation, you could have the child write their speech words on the "water" and practice them. For a language activity, you could ask the child "wh" questions about what you are doing, have them sequence the steps or ask them to describe what they are doing (ex: "How many fish are there?).

I also have sequence cards that go with this activity (i.e., Step One: glue fish on water, Step Two: open bag, Step Three: put water in bag, Step Four, put oatmeal in bag, Step Five: close/seal bag)

What you will need:
zip top bag
oatmeal ("sand")
yellow construction paper (cut into fish shapes)
blue construction paper (cut into a square that will fit inside the zip top bag)

Enjoy!
