You can make one huge whale and give each student a blue wave to fill out, and then put the waves around your whale, or you can give each child their own whale and the writing prompt paper for them to complete and then arrange these on a bulletin board that's covered with blue paper.

To make the whales more personal, cut your students' school picture out as an oval, children glue the photo to a white oval, and then glue the white oval to a blue circle. (Have these pre-cut) Students use this as the whale's eye and glue it to their black whale.

Wiggle eyes also look cute.  Students can add a red heart sticker for a cheek or use a crayon to color one in.  Students also cut out a blue wave and glue it to the back of their whale.

Write child's name with a silver sharpie on the largest part of the wave.

I like to add a spray of water coming out of the spout. To add even more pizzazz, add silver glitter glue.

You can also add a bit of white glitter to the tops of the blue waves as well.
