"Fish in the aquarium" - applique

Underwater world is always interesting for children, because its nature is so unlike the nature of land. Marine plants, animals and fish attract babies with bright and unusual colors. In order to introduce the child to the marine inhabitants, we suggest you make an article made from colored paper - the application "Fish in the aquarium". In this article, you will find two options for a master class on this topic - for toddlers (they will need adult help) and for older children. And crumbs of 1.5-2 years old can be offered to make the simplest application in the form of an aquarium, having executed fish from geometric figures .

Simple application "Aquarium"

1. This is an article we should get.

2. For its production we will need: white and two-sided colored paper, gouache of two colors (yellow and blue), a sponge for utensils, glue, scissors, "running" eyes.

3. We color with a gouache and a sponge a white sheet of paper, visually dividing it into two unequal parts: yellow sand and blue sea.

4. Cut out the elements of the application from the colored paper:

5. Gradually paste all the details on the painted and dried leaf: first algae and stones, then corals and fish, trying to evenly place all this on the sheet.

Application "Beautiful fishes in a voluminous aquarium"

  1. For this application, we use a cardboard box, colored paper, threads and beads, seashells.
  2. We take a cardboard box from under the shoes.
  3. We glue it from the inside with colored paper, imitating the seabed. Instead of yellow paper, you can paste a strip of felt.
  4. At the bottom glue shells (for this purpose it is convenient to use real sea shells and pebbles collected by the child during last year's trip to the sea).
  5. From green paper (regular or self-adhesive), we cut out the algae and also place them in a future aquarium.
  6. From white paper we make templates of various marine creatures: they can be fish of different shapes, octopus, crab, sea horse and starfish.
  7. We transfer them to colored paper and cut them out. It is advisable to make two-sided figures, because, suspended on threads in the aquarium, they will rotate.
  8. Glue a thread to each figure and hang it to the "ceiling" of the box. Also they can be decorated with beads or rhinestones.
