Swim in every Ocean

 

As we start another week at library Summer Reading program. This card is inspired by today's circle time. Enjoy 

My card is inspired from the children book : Rainbow Fish 

With hand colored background, sticker phrase and our sequined fish. 

For the youngest readers, the board book edition from the New York Times bestselling Rainbow Fish series.

The award-winning book about a beautiful fish who finds friendship and happiness when he learns to share.

Eye-catching foil stamping, glittering on every page, will delight every child, but it is the universal message at the heart of this simple story about a beautiful fish who learns to make friends by sharing his most prized possessions that gives this book its enduring value.

Have a great week and check out your local library Summer Reading program. Lisa 

Ocean Crafts

 Ocean Jar 

It's World  Ocean day...

• empty jar
• blue paint / mode podge
• mode podge : sand 
• rope, paper shell 

I tinted the mod podge with blue paint and painted clean jar. Then while wet add sand from a beach trip. Let dry. Add fabric rope and paper shell. Looks great with lights or battery operated light. 

Ocean Diorama :

I reused an old Sardine can to make this!  Seems fitting: I mode podge a crumbled napkin inside for water. Painted blue. On the bottom I added Sand and beach shells from a beach trip. Added paper fish and starfish.
