So i was excited when i learnt about this creative craft from great blogger, Leonny. And immediately thought the boys would be equally excited as well.
...
Yeah. They were excited. To PLAY with each other! = . =
The time to complete the aquarium was much longer that i thought thou. Partly so as i had to search for the stuffs and chase after the boys. In the end, i owned most of the process as the boys were too spirited and distracted to wait on mom to draw the fishes (what happened to my art skills?!) AND Zac just happened to choose one of the hardest fish to draw - he wanted Lionfish! Grrrr....

But really, it was fun (for me), and maddening (the boys doing a screaming match in the background).
Yet really, i think kids, especially those who have experienced an aquarium or are into fishes, would find it amazingly fun to build.

Tip: If you color your fish on one side of the paper like me, then you may want to attach 2 strings (at head/body of the fish). Then the fish will still dangle neatly without it turning the other uncolored side facing front.

Ok boys, guess we'll do this another time, ok?
