Materials:

	large styrofoam plates
	colored rock (the type used in fish tanks)
	plastic multi-colored seaweed (the type used in fish tanks)
	brown pipe cleaners
	green feathers
	blue plasticine
	sand (washed and cleaned)
	small assorted seashells
	wallpaper paste
	glue gun

Directions:

1. Press in a thin layer of blue plasticine on to approximately 1/3 of the plate. The blue represents the water portion of the seascape.
2. Mix 2 cups of wallpaper paste with enough water and sand to make a mixture approximately the thickness of pancake batter.
3. Using the glue gun, glue two brown pipe cleaners to the remaining portion of the paper plate, not the plasticine portion.
4. Glue 3 or 4 green feathers over the pipe cleaners to create palm trees.
5. Pour the sand/water/wallpaper paste mixture onto the portion of the paper plate without the plasticine. This will represent the beach portion of the seascape.
6. Sprinkle some colored rock on the sand mixture.
7. Place some seashells and small pieces of colored seaweed into the wet sand.
8. Let the sand mixture dry for approximately 2 days, allowing the wallpaper paste to dry and harden.
