Using the craft for each friend there are several options:
Create an ocean scene and have students make the "friends" to add to the ocean.
Have students report on the "friends". On one side of a piece of construction paper put the report and on the other side the "friend creation".
You can pick just a few "friends" to introduce or you can divide them up among the class.
Your choice and so much fun!!
Perfect to include research in the classroom.
