You can make interesting games about the underwater world with your own hands using paper, felt, cardboard, plastic bottles. Also, a detailed master class with step-by-step photos will teach you how to make the game "Fishing".
The underwater world is interesting and exciting. Create together with the children its inhabitants, make games so that the child can study the inhabitants of the sea and ocean depths, know what they are called and what they look like.
Do-it-yourself underwater world made of paper
See how to make a sea out of paper. This is how it will turn out.
Take:
- double-sided blue cardboard;
- scissors;
- simple pencil;
- glue;
- colored cardboard.
To make the underwater world with your own hands, you first need to fold a sheet of cardboard in half. The next photo shows which cuts need to be made without reaching the edges. If this stage of the work is done by a child, then let him first draw waves with a pencil, and then start cutting out using these markings.
Now you need to unfold the decorated sheet and carefully bend the waves through one. That is, one will be on one side, the next on the other.
Now you need to draw the inhabitants of the underwater world. Have your child draw them on the back of colored paper, then cut them out. It is interesting to make fish from two colors at once. That is, the body can be of one color, and the fins and tail of another. And if the fish is monochromatic, then with the help of a felt-tip pen, children will decorate such waterfowl.
Let the child glue a paper boat at the top of the sea waves. It remains to make algae out of green paper and attach them too. Here is such a voluminous craft on the marine theme. You can make games about the underwater world based on it. Then you glue the threads in the form of loops. The child will hold these toys by the string and pretend that they are floating.
Games about the underwater world will turn out from an ordinary plastic bottle. The child will look at its contents with interest and increase his horizons.
Take:
- transparent plastic bottle;
- water;
- sunflower oil;
- blue food coloring;
- seashells;
- plastic fish;
- sequins;
- asterisks;
- funnel;
- cocktail tube.
Fill the bottle only one third full with water. Drop a little food coloring here and stir the mixture with a tube. Add fish, shells, pebbles and sparkles here.
Place a funnel on top, pour some oil into the bottle. Now tighten the lid tightly, shake the container. Also, the child will shake this container and watch with pleasure how the inhabitants of the seabed begin to swim from such a current.
You can also make the underwater world in the bank. To do this, take:
- a jar with a screw cap;
- glycerol;
- blue;
- a figurine of a shark, dolphin or other fish;
- sparkles.
Pour glycerin into a jar, add a small amount of blue, close the lid, shake. Sprinkle the sparkles, place the fish figurine.
The child can decorate the underwater world at his own discretion. Let him put small pebbles and small shells here, place artificial plants.
How to make fish, inhabitants of the underwater world with your own hands - a master class
They can even be made from plastic lids of a suitable color. Glue triangles of tails, eyes for fish to these blanks. Draw fins and scales using the outlines. And to create air bubbles, it will be enough to dip a straw or the back of an unwound felt-tip pen in white paint and then transfer it to a sheet of blue paper.
You can also make fish out of paper. To do this, you need to fold the sheet in half, then cut from above not completely. Connect the remaining solid strips in the abdomen area. Add the missing elements to the fish.
You can make fish from regular toilet paper rolls. Take one of these and lightly press down on it to make the sleeve flatter. Now round it off on one side with scissors, and cut out the tail on the other side. It remains to paint the fish with dots to make scales, and depict stripes on the tail.
You can also make such mischievous octopuses from toilet paper rolls. A step-by-step master class shows the stages of work.
- Take the sleeve, cut it on one side into strips. Then paint the workpiece blue. When the paint is dry, draw circles with a blue felt-tip pen. You can make octopuses in a different color.
- Glue the eyes for toys here, draw smiling mouths. If you wish, then create such inhabitants of the underwater depths from sheets of colored paper. It will be necessary to cut these blanks on one side, then draw circles and glue this sheet to make such a rounded blank.
- If you need to make a whale, then take a sheet of blue paper, cut it as shown in the photo. You will end up with 2 blanks, the same shape, but different sizes. Place the small one on the table, place the large one on top so that it creates a semicircle. In front, glue a rectangle of white paper, first you need to draw straight stripes on it with a simple pencil. These are the teeth of a whale.
- To make it a fountain, take a white rectangle, cut it into thin strips, not reaching the edge of this shape. Now you need to roll it up tightly, fluff it up and glue it onto the top of this giant fish.
- It remains to add eyes, paint the tail, after which you can play with these inhabitants of the ocean depths.
Make fish out of paper. To do this, you need to make a slit at the end of the strip, insert a thinner edge here. When you cut, remember to leave two semicircles on the side to get these eyes. The same photo shows how to make a crab. Create his claws, then connect the top to make the head.
Salted dough or self-hardening clay will make a wonderful starfish. First, mold the mass, then form a five-pointed star out of it. Using a pencil, make points all over the surface. Dry this blank, after which you can enclose it in a frame. Do the corals in the same way, as they will also help decorate the underwater depths.
When you create games about the underwater world, make a jellyfish with your own hands. First, cut out a piece of cardboard to make a semi-circular blank. Now you will need to glue multi-colored buttons here. Cut the paper thinly, or take narrow satin ribbons and glue them to the bottom of the work.
You can even make a jellyfish from a plastic planter. Paint it, and after a while glue the eyes for toys and a starfish here, turning the pot over. Now glue various beads on the inside to complete the look of this seabed dweller.
You can make fish out of cardboard by taking a colored one. And make scales from a variety of materials. Take a semicircular pasta, paint and glue them as such elements. You can also use colored beads or buttons for this purpose.
You can make fish and crabs from round blanks. To do this, cut out circles from colored paper, cut segments on one side to remove an extra corner. Glue the two sides together. This will give you semicircular bodies. When you cut these blanks, immediately create fins, claws and other elements of the inhabitants of the underwater depths.
The following diagram shows how to make them.
When creating games about the underwater world, make such objects with your own hands so that the child can repeat the actions after you and master these interesting master classes. Show him how to make a fish tank. This occupation will also certainly captivate him.
Underwater games - how to make an aquarium
Take:
- small cardboard box;
- ruler;
- pencil;
- paints;
- colored paper;
- threads;
- felt-tip pens;
- glue;
- seashells;
- pebbles;
- blue paper or paints of this color;

Take ready-made fish or create them from colored cardboard. Let the children color these inhabitants of the underwater depths. Create the bottom and algae out of colored paper. Glue it all in place. And on top, glue pebbles and shells to the bottom. Now make a hole at the top of the box, pull the threads here. On the other hand, glue fish on them. Now the child will be able to raise and lower the threads and move the fish in this way.
You can make longitudinal slots so that the fish can "swim" for a greater distance.
See also how you can make an aquarium so that your child gets carried away with this activity. For this, even plates are suitable, take a light shatterproof plastic and disposable one.
Cut out such a ring from a disposable one, you only need it. Paint it and a regular plastic plate with a sponge or a wide brush blue. When this coating is dry, apply a little glue to the bottom and sprinkle sand or grains in there in a color that looks like the seabed. You can glue on pieces of green chenille wire to make them algae.
Glue a piece of cling film onto the hoop from a disposable plate. Let the child create a fish out of colored paper and attach it to his work. It remains to glue a ring from a disposable plate to a regular dish on the outside in a circle.
Have fun with your children by making such a decorative aquarium with them. Then you can create various games about the underwater world based on this thing. You can come up with an interesting plot, story, so the child will improve his creative abilities.
Take:
- plastic or glass container;
- hair gel;
- pebbles;
- figurines of underwater inhabitants;
- artificial algae;
- pipette;
- tweezers;
- a toothpick;
- cling film;
- backlight.
Take a prepared clean container, put small pebbles on its bottom. You can also place decorative round glasses here. Place artificial algae here as well. Pour clear hair gel into this container, filling it almost to the top. If at the same time bubbles formed here, then they will help to make the picture of the seabed even more reliable. If not, then do it with a pipette.
Put fish and other seabed dwellers here. You can position them at the desired distance using tweezers or a toothpick. If you wish, attach lighting elements under the cover, which can be LED strips or small battery-powered flashlights.
To prevent the surface of the gel from drying out over time, and it does not fade, carefully put a piece of cling film under the lid. Here's how to make a DIY decorative aquarium. If you are interested in this topic, then be sure to check out the next paragraph.
The game "Fishing" about the underwater world - how to do it yourself
This kind of fun will appeal not only to children, but also to adults. Therefore, it is most interesting to make it for people of different generations.
Take:
- multi-colored cardboard;
- hole puncher;
- scissors;
- Scotch;
- thread;
- pencil;
- paper clip;
- colored paper or colored tape;
- stationery knife;
- box.
Cut fish out of colored cardboard. And with the help of a hole punch, make holes in the area of the head of the fish.
To prevent the holes from tearing over time, make the holes with a hole punch farther from the edge.
Take a box and cover it with blue tape or paper of this color. Then make slits so that up to half of the fish can be inserted here from the side of the tail. In this case, the holes will be at the top.
Attach the string to the tip of the pencil with tape. Do not make it too long to make it easier to catch the fish. At the end of the thread, fix the disassembled paperclip, which will become the crochet.
Now you can start playing fishing. To do this, let the child hold a pencil and try to hook into the hole of the fish in order to get it out of the makeshift aquarium. You can use a wooden stick or similar object instead of a pencil.
This "Fishing" game is done in just 15 minutes. If you can spend more time on this, then make a toy like this.
Have to take:
- thick felt;
- thread of a suitable color;
- a needle;
- scissors;
- glue gun;
- thin felt;
- patterns of corals, algae;
- synthetic fluff;
- metal loops from the hook.
Take a thick felt, cut out the edges of the future reservoir and the bottom from it. Sew these blanks to make the base of the pond.
Sewing felt on hands is pleasant and easy, so even those who do not have a sewing machine can create such games about the underwater world with their own hands.
Now let's move on to decorating this reservoir. Take a coral template, attach it to the pink felt, cut it out.
The kelp here are made of green felt. And algae is made from light green. To make the veins visible on these underwater plants, make them with threads. You can make small cuts in a circle so that the blanks are more reliable.
See what the elements of the seabed look like. There can be stars, pebbles, various underwater plants and corals.
To make a seashell, cut out three circles of varying sizes, each with slightly uneven edges. Sew them together, making loop seams.
See how to craft other seashells. To do this, cut out figures of various shapes from felt, use threads to make them more authentic. There may also be an anchor that is lost in the depths of the sea.
Then, for a game about the underwater world with your own hands, you can make more reeds, water lilies. In this case, the needlewoman wanted her young children to know who lives in fresh and salt water.
Therefore, corals, algae and other inhabitants of salt water will be located on one side. And for a fresh pond, attach them to the other. You can fix it by sewing on, or gluing with a glue gun.
Now, using a template or by hand, draw a fish on a light felt. You will need two such details. Sew them together, but leave your mouth open for now. Through it you will fill the fish with synthetic fluff. Then insert the paired piece from the large haberdashery hook and sew here on your hands.
Attach not only this metal part securely, but also the eyes. After that, make a few stitches with contrasting threads to make scales.
Metal carpet rings or similar blanks can be used. But sew them very tightly so that the child cannot tear them off. You will attach the same to the starfish. To make it, you need to create two parts, then join them with a seam over the edge, fill with synthetic fluff, insert a metal circle and sew to the end.
Make jellyfish too. For this, a blue nylon fabric is suitable. Take a piece of filler and place it in the middle of the fabric, having previously formed a circle. Then you will need to tie it with a thread to separate the top from the bottom.
In this case, it is necessary to put a loop from the hook under the fabric in advance. Then you will make a small hole with scissors, pull it out and sew it.
Create a pair of these jellyfish. To make fishing rods, take wooden skewers or twigs, if they are thin, first rewind them with tape, and only then wrap with felt. This material needs to be sewn right on these blanks like this.
To make a fishing rod look like a spinning rod, you need a reel like this. You will attach it with a glue gun, and then you will cover the edges with strips of felt of the same color.
A nylon thread can act as a fishing line, for example, such a golden one. At its end, you glue a magnet with a hot gun.
Everything is ready, you can launch sea inhabitants inside. If you wish, weave a net out of threads to decorate part of the pond with it.
Kids will love these sea life games. In the process of entertainment, they will be able to remember the names of fish, other inhabitants of the underwater kingdom and have fun playing.
How to make a game "Fishing", you can see from the following plot. You will create it out of paper.
And how to make aquatic inhabitants, the second mini-films will tell. See how to make a paper crab.
The third video will tell you how to make a fish.
