Our last Sea Life activities allowed us to use our creative juices, using paints, sand, tissue paper, goldfish crackers, and salt dough, which we made in class! We completed a Venn Diagram comparing seahorses with farm horses. Listing differences was the easy part. We came up with a few things that were the same...not quite so easy! Our seahorses found homes in three dimensional fish bowls, complete with seaweed, and "goldfish". We learned all about starfish, and anxiously waited for our creations to dry so that we could paint them. Adding a bit of glitter helped them sparkle in our hallway display.
We mixed the salt dough for our starfish...
Next, we kneaded the dough until it was soft.
Rolling the dough was not as easy as it looked....
Almost completed......
Our finished product, ready to dry and paint!
Our three dimensional fish bowls were a great home for the seahorses!
If you didn't get a chance to see our fabulous hall display, here it is!
