If there’s one thing that I love to do, it’s make things that are just plain cute. Googly eyes add a certain cuteness to simple pieces of paper, cardboard tubes and other such recyclables. In this particular case, the cuteness is inside two paper plates made to look like an aquarium. It’s a classic kid’s craft that’s been done many times in a variety of different ways. My version is just one of those many, and you and your kids should feel free to be creative and use whatever strikes you for decorations. I made this paper plate aquarium for Kix Cereal and you can find the tutorial on their site here — Paper Plate Aquarium

So cool! We have an Ocean Theme (play-learning kids activities) coming up this Summer 2014, where this craft would come in handy! We’re just finishing up our rendition of your Paper Plate Fruit Art, & I will link it up to the post, as we complete them. Thanks ever so much for all of your inspiration! :D
