How It Works

You will need: printer, cardstock, scissors, glue stick, clear tape, thread or thin string, a pencil to poke the clip holes, a craft knife for the grown-up. Ages 6+ with a grown-up helping.

Great for ocean units, summer activities, classrooms, homeschool, birthday parties and rainy days.

Print at 100% (actual size) on white cardstock (200-250 gsm / 65-90 lb)
Cut out the pieces (a grown-up cuts the window and the slits with a craft knife)
Glue the cabinet and sand floor, fold up the walls and roof, glue on the frame and pink covers
Glue each animal front + back over a thread, push the thread up through a roof slot and a pink clip, knot and tape it
Push the reef pieces into the floor slits, then slide the clips and play!
