Jellyfish Aquarium
@n.annlee321 Since I made this, I no longer need a night light when I go to bed 😊 Great for saving electricity. Be sure to expose the glow-in-the-dark stones to plenty of light during the day ✨ I bought all the materials at Seria. If you don’t have jellyfish stickers, it’s also fun to draw jellyfish on the bottle with a permanent marker.#sdgs Creators Grand PrixLife with children#tiktok classroom

Recommended for kids who love aquariums! You might not even need a light!? Here’s how to make a “Jellyfish Aquarium” using materials from the dollar store.
First, put glow-in-the-dark stones into a plastic bottle, then add glitter powder and liquid laundry starch.
It’s also a great idea to stick on jellyfish and other fish stickers or illustrations! Once you’ve decorated it, your original aquarium is complete.
If you don’t have glow-in-the-dark stones, how about putting in a small LED light instead? Be sure to get creative and adapt it to your children’s ages!
Mall beaded ring
A stylish item that’s uniquely yours! Here are some ideas for making pipe-cleaner rings.

When cutting the wire inside the pipe cleaner, it’s best to work together with a parent or teacher to prevent injuries.
Try getting creative with character motifs or colorful designs!

Cute molded doll

You’ll use thicker, fluffy pipe cleaners, twisting and combining them, then shaping them to achieve your ideal form.
How many pipe cleaners you use is an important point: proceed while considering a size that allows the whole figure to be sturdy and a quantity that gives it dimensionality.
