How do you make Ocean Themed DIY Binoculars for Kids?

Check out this short video to see how to easily make these DIY Binoculars for the kids!

Begin by adding glue dots on one side of a cardboard tube. Then, place the other tube on top of the glue dots so they stick together.

Next, let your child decorate the outside of the tubes with ocean-themed stickers.

Use elastic around the middle of the tubes and tie at the top.

Lastly, use the Silkies necklace to tie onto the elastic cord. I like to use a Silkies necklace because they easily break apart and prevent choking.
