Set out the Giant Stamp Pad Set and let the children begin to make fingerprints in different colors on the page.

If the kids want more color on their aquarium, they can use their fingerprints to fill in the rocks and plant in the aquarium.

You could also use Classic Stamp Pad Set.

Now the kids can turn those finger prints into fish and sea life. I love having them use Crayola Fine Line Markers to draw the lines for the sea critters.

I made this fun guide for them to follow, but you can let them do what they want. It's fun to see how creative they can get.
