Materials: Recycled cardboard tubes, small boxes, egg cartons,  painter’s tape, marbles, empty wall or door

Prep Tip: Before you begin building, I recommend pre-cutting pieces of tape in advance.

Step 1: Decide on a small box to represent Destiny’s tank and a second box to represent Dory’s final destination, the Open Ocean exhibit.

Step 2: Use cardboard tubes and other recyclable materials to create “pipes” for Dory to travel. Secure your tubes and materials to a wall with painter’s tape.

Step 3: Test your pipes as you go to ensure your marble (representing Dory) will be able to get to the final box.
