DIY Mason Jar Aquarium Craft

It’s summer time and the kids are “sooooooo bored!!” LOL! Give them an activity to make that is easy, not too messy and will occupy their time for at least a few minutes. 🙂

I designed this aquarium for Momtastic.com. Check out this link for the complete how-to.

Here is what you need:

• Mason jars
• Plastic figurine (I went with mermaids, but you can also use dinosaurs, knights, fish, whatever you have or see in the store)
• Plastic aquarium plants
• Glitter
• Glycerin
• Blue food coloring
• Aquarium gravel

Here’s how you do it:

Step 1: Fill the jar with water and food coloring.

Step 2: Add glycerin and glitter.

Step 3: Add gravel.

Step 4: Add plastic mermaid.

Step 5: Add plastic plants.

Step 6: Screw the jar tight.
