This collage may take a while to dry before it can be completed. Hand out to each child a white sheet of construction paper. Each will paint on the "sea" or "ocean", using pale blue paint and shaving foam for the waves. As the paint is drying, have available magazines with ocean life pictures, especially whales, jellyfish, sea turtles, and dolphins. The children will cut out pictures and glue them to the "ocean". Always praise and display each work of art. The classroom should now seem like an aquarium, with displayed projects made throughout the week.
While working on their art, the children may enjoy listening to Johnette Downing's "Most Fish Swim" cd.
