Boxed Creativity Kits: Aquarium Instructions Supplies from home: Supplies included in the kit: - Scissors or box cutter (to be used by mom, dad or another adult!) - Clear plastic wrap - Tape and glue - Fish and sea creature templates (find these on Blog.Boxed.com too!) - 3.3oz tube of (sea blue) non-toxic paint - 1 foam paint brush - Non-toxic, washable markers (6 colors) - Non-toxic acrylic glitter glue (3 colors) - 6 assorted size and shape googly plastic fish eyes - 2 plastic aquarium plants - 1 plastic coral pieces - 4’ spool of fishing line Directions: 1. (For adults) After you have unpacked your Boxed items, open up the bottom of the box. Cut out the two smaller flaps from the top of the box and the two smaller flaps from the bottom of the box and set aside. 2. (For adults) To create the main structure of the aquarium, cut the box lengthwise. The aquarium should be at least 6” in depth, but feel free to adjust to your taste! Tape the top and bottom flaps to the sides of the aquarium. 3. (For adults) Take the side of the box that you are not using for the main structure of the aquarium and cut out the side with the “Boxed” logo. This will be the front of the aquarium. Cut out a “viewing window” leaving a border that is at least 2”. 4. (For adults) Cut one or two “port holes” on each of the narrow sides of the aquarium. Use spare pieces of cardboard and cut borders to match the size of the round port holes. Tape or glue the borders to the port holes. 5. Time to get really creative! Use stencils and/or spare pieces of cardboard to trace and cut out shapes of fish/sea creatures. Use the markers and glitter glue to color and decorate your fish/sea creatures. 6. Paint the inside of the aquarium all blue. Once the paint starts to dry, use glitter glue to add extra sparkle to your water. 7. Place the plastic plants and coral on the bottom of the aquarium. Secure with glue if desired. 8. Use the clear fishing line and tape to hang your fish/sea creatures at different heights inside the aquarium. 9. Place a piece of clear plastic wrap under the aquarium window opening, securing the edges tightly with tape to create a clear “viewing window”. 10. Enjoy your Boxed aquarium and share pictures with your family and friends!
