Recycled Art Collage

Use old magazines, newspapers, cereal boxes, recycled paper, cardboard or whatever you can get your hands to create a recycled plankton (phytoplankton or zooplankton). Your collage can be 2-D or 3-D, but it must fit into a box that is 8" tall and 12" long. Be creative and have fun!
