Ever wonder what's under the water? Kids will have fun creating this Water Explorer to help them see under water. View fish and flora beneath the surface by using a simple, crafty "water box."
Be sure to visit our summer crafts index for even more fun including camping printables and more.
What you'll need:
- Empty cardboard milk carton
- Plastic wrap
- Large rubber bands
- Blue paint
- Stickers to decorate
How to make it:
- Cut a large cardboard milk carton in half, then cut a square hole in the bottom of the carton.
- Decorate this cool science tool with blue crayons, paint, or stickers for a fishy theme.
- Turn the carton over and cover it with a large sheet of plastic wrap. Use a big rubber band to secure the wrap to the Water Explorer.
- Press the box against the surface to see the critters beneath. Who knows what you might see staring back!
