Begin by rolling the plastic out flat and folding it in half lengthwise. Seal the edges together by ironing around the entire perimeter. Use parchment paper to prevent direct contact with the iron, and leave a small unsealed hole in the top corner.

Add spongy sea creatures and blue food coloring, and top it all off by filling with water. Once full, use duct tape to seal off the corner, and your kiddos can enjoy their personal beach all summer long!
