Paint the plates first thing, dry, then glue the fins, tails and eyes on later in the day. A three year old can paint, dot, press bubble wrap and tape ribbon tentacles. Cutting the shark mouth, the wedge for the rainbow fish and the octopus legs is your part; weaving the turtle shell is for a five year old. Blow painting the whale spout is the one to try outside or over a tray. A watery drop of paint and a short straw; the child blows up and away, not down, or the paint comes back. Hang the jellyfish from the ceiling so the tentacles move. The shark suncatcher goes in a window. The rest line up on a blue paper strip on the wall as an ocean. ## What you need for ocean crafts Most of these use the same handful of supplies: glue, googly eye, blue paper, white paper plate, paper plate, black marker, white paper, green paper. Everything else is named on the craft it belongs to.
