Kindergarten Craft: Paper Plate Fish Aquarium Craft

A few years back my husband had these awesome fish aquariums. We had a salt water aquarium and a fresh water aquarium. They were so gorgeous and so relaxing to look at but a lot of hard work was involved in maintaing them. So with time we had to wrap them up. The other day i was showing my daughter a few photos of our aquariums. They inspired her so much that we decided to make our own Fish Aquarium Craft using paper plates.

So of we went to our craft room. For this craft i wanted some different materials. I decided to paint some paper plates and see how they turned out. And they turned out gorgeous!!! The instructions below are for 1 paper plate aquarium craft. Though as usual we made two. By the way i can proudly say that my daughters paper plate aquarium craft turned out better then mine. Can you guess which one is hers!!
