  • Small jar
  • Water
  • Blue food colouring

    Method
  • Fill the jar with water
  • Add a few drops of blue food colouring to the water with the eye dropper
  • Place your sea creature in the jar

  • Your mini aquarium is now complete! My daughter wanted to make more after we had completed ours so we also tried different sea creatures, adding glitter and different colours of food dye just for fun.
