Under The Sea Theater Box

We did our Under The Sea Theater Box this morning. It was quick and fun, end to finish took about 30 minutes.

What you'll need
~ Empty Cereal Box
~ Aluminum Foil
~ Pipe cleaners (for sea creatures and to make underwater plants)
~ Paint, Crayons, and/or Colored Pencils
~ Colored Construction Paper
~ Seashells
~ Yarn
* Not pictured; Glue Gun and some very eager kiddos. Sand would be really neat to use as the ocean floor. Jack just colored it nicely with a brown colored pencil.



First, cut, color, and paint your sea creatures that will be in your theater box. Take some blue paint and paint your aluminum foil. It will create a neat backdrop in the box.
Place your foil in the back of the box, ours stayed just fine but you could glue this if needed. Use a glue gun to glue your seaweed to the box and sea creatures to your pipe cleaners and then place through a hole in the top of the box. They will be able to move up and down this way :) See the jellyfish's tentacle's moving in the picture below, haha!
Our finished product was with a Seahorse, a Jellyfish, and a blue and yellow striped fish. Jack did the artwork on all of them. He was quite proud.

He also wanted to make sure I included some neat facts he learned about Jellyfish and Seahorses this past week, haha, such as.................................

• A group of Jellyfish is called a smack.
• Jellyfish do not have a heart, brain, bones, or eyes.
• A Jellyfish is made up of over 90% water.
• Daddy Seahorses carry eggs in their pouch until they hatch.
• Seahorses have one mate for their life.
• Seahorses do not have stomachs.

Hope you enjoy :)
