Kids gather enough stuff from the beach to start their own beach--or maybe a whole new continent! This keepsake aquarium is a lovely, simple way for them to display the cream of their collections
- Materials
-
- Large glass fishbowl
- Family beach-day photo
- Clear tape
- Sand, enough to fill the fishbowl about halfway
- Pebbles, shells, driftwood, dried seaweed, sea glass, and other beach treasures
- Small nautical image cut from a postcard or calendar

- Instructions
-
-
Tape the family photo to the inside of the fishbowl, being sure to tape along all the edges to help keep out the sand.
-
Fill the fishbowl about halfway with sand, enough to reach above the photo.
-
. Spread pebbles on the sand, then place shells, driftwood, and other beach treasures where you like.
-
Cut out a small nautical image from a postcard or calendar. Tape a wooden skewer to the back and push the skewer into the sand. You may have to trim the skewer with scissors to make the image rest on the beach.
