The underwater world is always interesting for children, because its nature is so different from the nature of land. Sea plants, animals and fish attract kids with bright and unusual colors. In order to introduce the child to marine life, we suggest you make a craft 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 kids (they will need the help of adults) and for older children. And crumbs aged 1.5-2 years can be offered to make the simplest application in the form of an aquarium by making fish from geometric shapes.

Simple application "Aquarium"

1. Here we should get such a craft.

2. For its manufacture we need: white and double-sided colored paper, gouache in two colors (yellow and blue), sponge for dishes, glue, scissors, "running" eyes.

3. We paint with 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 colored paper:

• multi-colored fish (you can pre-make a template);
• brown corals;
• green algae;
• sea ​​pebbles different shades of pink, red and brown.

5. Gradually glue all the details on a painted and dried sheet: first algae and stones, then corals and fish, trying to evenly place it all on the sheet.

Application "Beautiful fish in a large aquarium"

Paper fish aquarium

Quote from Veh07

Description in the original English language, but everything is perfectly clear from the pictures. Just in case, I give small comments.

Print the scheme in two copies.

Cut grass or corals, fish. There is coral, but you will have to look for the goldfish yourself. Here is what I found in Yandex.

Glue corals and fish. Only on one side of large and small ovals! Do not seal the cuts, then ovals will be inserted into them. I think that color paper should be double-sided so that the postcard looks good from all sides. The fish must be double-sided!

Let's start building:

First 2 large ovals and 2 large rectangles.

Then 2 small rectangles. Look at the picture on which side the grass should be located.

Add small ovals.

Everything, the aquarium is ready! This is a pop-up postcard. it can fold.

Good luck, happiness and fulfillment of desires!

Probably every parent has come across such a request of their baby as: "I want an elephant!". The elephant is a frequently replaced variable. It could be a rocket, or just a doll, like the girl next door. In general, you know, the kid can request ANYTHING, WHEN you want and AS you like.

In our case, the daughter began to request an "elephant" from the age of two. Sometimes politely, sometimes with tears. The painted things did not satisfy her, and it was extremely rare to distract her with another topic. One of the most memorable episodes was the backpack. My daughter saw this object in a children's book, and since it was in the evening, the mood was not positive, as a result, a thunderstorm broke out at home. Constantly solving children's whims by means of money, in our opinion, is far from the wrong approach. Therefore, we found another way out - the backpack was glued from cardboard. By the way, he regularly served his daughter for three months, and to this day is in working condition.

But today we will talk about another "elephant" - about aquarium.
After another trip to the shopping center, the fish from the pet store sunk into the soul of my daughter. I am not against pets, but on the condition that the child himself takes care of them. Our daughter, at her 2 and a half years old, is not ready for such responsibility, so we returned to our faithful helpers - scissors and cardboard.

For our craft we needed:

• boxes
• colored cardboard
• colored paper
• scissors
• pebbles

Children will be able to make such an aquarium on their own school age. But I assure you that the kids will also be happy to take part in joint family creativity, they can paint the boxes, decorate the fish, lay out the pebbles and shells. It's all about teamwork ;)

The box can be decorated with paints. We just glued it with colored paper using double-sided tape.

While the husband was engaged in algae,

daughter decorated the bottom of the aquarium with pebbles,

I made fish.

We made runners with which you can move the fish from cardboard. But you can replace them with paper clips, or stick around the threads with smooth tape. In general, the main thing here is that the thread slides along the incision.

My daughter was very happy with the new inhabitants of our house. For the first two days, the aquarium moved around the apartment with her. Then a suitable place was found for him, and we feed the fish every day. :)

The entire selection of various paper aquariums you can see in my journal.

And also you will find there beautiful cartoon on the marine theme based on the children's book of the famous American writer and artist Leo Lionni(Leo Lionni) swimmy.

Children of school age can make such an aquarium on their own. But I assure you that the kids will also be happy to take part in joint family creativity, they can paint the boxes, decorate the fish, lay out the pebbles and shells. The main thing here is team work.

The box can be decorated with paints. We just glued it with colored paper using double-sided tape.

paper aquarium

I know that this is the idea of ​​an American designer - and many have already made such an aquarium .. we just realized it, we got a box! fish hang on threads .. buttons on top

here's what's inside

We suggest you do with children 4-8 years old voluminous crafts from paper "Aquarium". The model is very simple, but, at the same time, decorative. The voluminous base-frame opens up a wide field for creativity. After all, the aquarium can be "populated" not only with fish, but with seahorses, octopuses or jellyfish. Such an "aquarium" can also serve as the basis for plasticine fantasies on marine themes. And, of course, such work will be a great opportunity to expand the horizons of the child, to talk with him about the sea and its inhabitants.

For paper crafts "Aquarium" we need:

• A sheet of double-sided blue paper;
• colored paper;
• Glue;
• Scissors;
• A simple pencil and markers.

Let's take a sheet of blue or blue paper, quite thick (for example, for pastels). If you do not have suitable paper, then you can make it from a landscape sheet by painting with watercolors on both sides. To make the paper completely even, after drying, you can iron the sheet with a warm iron.

Fold the sheet in half and draw a line along the opposite side of the fold. From the edge it is necessary to retreat about 1.5-2 cm.

With a pencil, draw parallel wavy lines perpendicular to the fold line. They must reach exactly to the previously outlined line.

Cut the wave lines with scissors.

Let's bend the resulting "waves" through one, as shown in the photo. We will get a three-dimensional structure - a rectangular "aquarium" in cross section.

Let's make seaweed. To do this, cut out green strips of paper. It is better to cut uneven, wavy. We will stick them in our aquarium. Can be glued only for the lower and upper "wave", you can intertwine "waves" and algae.

Of course, the craft will not be finished if you do not put fish in our paper aquarium. You can make them in any way: cut out from colored paper or just from a magazine or postcard, draw it yourself, and then cut it out, even mold it from plasticine. You can also make fish using the origami technique. We offer two options for cutting out fish from colored paper: symmetrical cutting and pattern.

Fish from colored paper for crafts "Aquarium", made by symmetrical cutting.

Take a rectangle of colored paper and fold it in half. With a simple pencil, draw the contours of the half of the fish.

Let's cut out the fish along the marked lines, cutting through two layers of paper at once. Let's unfold the resulting silhouette.

Felt-tip pens can finish the eyes and scales.

You can also make a shell for a paper aquarium using symmetrical cutting. For a shell, you need to take a square of paper and fold it diagonally. Draw a wavy line and cut it out. Expand the figure and draw the details with a felt-tip pen.

Fish from colored paper for crafts "Aquarium", made according to the template.

Let's print or draw the contours of the silhouette of the fish. Cut out a stencil template from thick paper. Lay the template on the wrong side of the paper and circle it. It remains only to cut the fish along the intended line.

The box can be decorated with paints. We just glued it with colored paper using double-sided tape.

While the husband was engaged in algae,

daughter decorated the bottom of the aquarium with pebbles,

I made fish. It is desirable to make the fish double-sided, hanging on a thread, they will spin.

We made runners with which you can move the fish from cardboard. But you can replace them with paper clips, or stick around the threads with smooth tape. In general, the main thing here is that the thread slides along the incision.

Since the lid of our box was rather squishy, ​​we additionally reinforced it with stiffeners.

My daughter was very happy with the new inhabitants of our house. For the first two days, the aquarium moved around the apartment with her. Then a suitable place was found for him, and we feed the fish every day. :)

2. A simplified version of our aquarium. Note that inside the box is glued not just with paper, but with a thematic pattern.
