Ocean in a Ziploc Bag (Summer Outdoor Fun)

Sensory/Art Project "Under the Sea"

Today, we created our own ocean in a Ziploc bag:

1) We squirted blue hair gel into a Ziploc bag. Since this was tricky, we had to make sure to help each other and to work as a team, i.e., one of us was holding the Ziploc bag open while our partner squirted the gel in.
2) We added glitter, plastic sea creatures and foam fish to the hair gel.
3) Next, we had to make sure to get the air out of the Ziploc bag and then we closed it and taped  the top with clear packaging tape.
4) We had a lot of fun moving the gel and sea creatures around in our bag.
5) We added some stickers such as dolphins, turtles, sharks to the outside of our bags.
6) We put our final product in another Ziploc bag, sealed the bag with tape and attached it to a poster board.

It was amazing  how different our oceans looked.

  
Water Balloon Beach Toss: This game required a lot of teamwork and cooperation. We used a beach towel to launch water balloons into targets (hula hoops). Two of us were holding the corners of a beach towel and lifted it up in the air on the count of three.
