If you are a parent, then you will know what we mean when we say that summer holidays can be a mixed blessing. There is the fact that you don’t have to get up in the morning to prepare their lunch boxes and get them going for school and that too after forcing them to get dressed and finish their breakfast. Add to this the pressure of last minute homework and picking out all the belongings they would need for the school. Getting rid of all these things would mean that you can escape the pressure of school mornings. But this also means that you have the pressure of having to come up with small projects for the kids to do. Otherwise, you will have the kids whining about not having enough to do or getting too attached to their smart devices, which is not a smart thing to happen all the time. That is why you need some benign projects like creative cardboard projects to keep your kids engaged if they are below 7 years old. However, for slightly older kids you will have to come up with something that is more involved and one of them could be original light bulb aquarium décor ideas.

What is a light bulb aquarium? It is simply what it states – an aquarium that is created in the interior of an old bulb with decorations and embellishments like you would have in a real aquarium only to scale to fit in. You can fill the aquarium with water and talk to your local pet shop to get a fish that will fit in.

Since we are talking about something as small as a bulb serving as an aquarium, everything will have to be on scale to the size of the bulb. The first thing that you need to do is figure out how to remove the holder of the bulb without spoiling the bulb or cracking it. Then you need to clear out all the wires and other things inside the bulb. While you are on this process, do ensure that your kids take enough precautions so that there are no cuts and gashes when this is being done. Then figure out a way to have a lid placed on the bulb once you have created the aquarium. If you are planning to keep an actual fish inside, then you have to figure out how to have an air supply going for the fish to breathe. The next step is to figure out how to have the aquarium standing or hanging without falling down and breaking.
