Instructions

Cut a small semi-circle out of the top of the plate, turn it upside down and glue it to the bottom of the plate. Use the scissors to make the bottom edge straight.

Using watercolor paint and a paintbrush, paint your fish bowl with water.

Draw fish and seaweed on scrapbook paper and cut them out. Glue them onto your fish bowl. Add googly eyes to your fish with glue too. 

Tip: What other sea creatures could you put in your fish bowl? How about a frog, starfish, or jellyfish?
