Paper Aquarium Craft

Introduction

In this project you will be making an underwater scene out of construction paper. In the example below I made a school of fish but you can use the general ideas in this craft and add your own sea creatures. Try creating jellyfish, starfish, sharks, crabs, shrimp and other underwater animals out of construction paper and pasting them to the background.
