If you'd like to develop your coral reef diorama even further, first explore pictures of coral reefs by looking at pictures online or in books at your library. Then look at these extra materials listed below for ideas of other materials you can use. I encourage you to be creative when you make your own diorama.

rocks and sand
pasta of all shapes and sizes
empty egg cartons
breakfast cereals (Grape Nuts^TM, Kix^TM, flaked-shaped cereals etc.)
old film containers
Styrofoam packaging
bubble wrap
waffle cones
candy (licorice, Pop Rocks^TM, Tootsie Rolls^TM, and so on)
toothpicks
twist ties
sponges (you can cut these up into shapes)
muffin wrappers
toilet paper or paper towel rolls
nipples for baby's bottle
yogurt containers

GOOD PLACES TO BROWSE FOR SUPPLY IDEAS: hardware store, supermarkets, around the house
