3D Paper Plate Aquarium Craft
Materials required per student:
2 Large paper plates. Cut the centre of one of these.
Print some sea life onto A4 white paper. We chose killer whale, starfish, tuna, seaweed and a shell.
A light blue circle to fit inside the plate as the sea. I tried coloring it in with a blue crayon but the glue didn't stick to well to it.
I had 15 5-year old children in my class so I precut the sea life and had them glue it down before coloring. It took a little longer to prepare (to much) but the class ran smoother as I they weren't using scissors.
Glue stick.
Blue tape for the water and a hair brush to shred it with.
Tape to keep the two plate together when complete.
I hope there are some ideas here for you - Tim Sensei ティム先生.

Praying Mantis Crafts
Praying Mantis Craft. Great for a bugs or insects study.
I found this kept my elementary school aged children happily occupied as part of our Insect Theme study unit. I've not found so many crafts that challenge and entertain them them in this way.
To Make:This craft is relatively straight forward, but you absolutely must make one yourself first in advance of your lesson. You will need to be able to model the it clearly to the students, and they in turn must have the skills to complete it themselves.
In the above photos I printed the two templates onto one piece of A3 paper. If I was to do the craft again I might just print one per A3, to get something twice the size.
It worked very well with my 6 to 10 year olds.
