This "Under the Sea" diorama kept my girls happily busy this morning!
It is made simply of a box lid {I didn't have a shoebox on hand}, blue bulletin board borders, and the background is a poster from the aquarium section at the pet store. I glued little blue glass beads on for air bubbles.
Quick felt goldfish, crab and jellyfish glued to craft sticks make the perfect little friends for two sweet handmade mermaids.
As soon as the glue dried, the girls were off to play! They LOVED it!!!
I love watching my girls when they get really into it with their imaginations. Immediately they started gathering play silks, sea glass, animals, and tree blocks to create a tea party. Everyone was invited!
This is such a cute project!
