We made the project in "Nado Livre", an academy, with Isabela B.H. Oliveira, who is a swimming teacher in this place. Isabela gives swimming lessons for children from 4 to 6 years old, always through tricks and with much affection. From the set of words that compose Isabela`s vocabular universe, we recognize as the project objective: "Playing of shark bubbles gains a kiss." An example that has relation with the chosen phrase is that during the lessons Isabela always makes children associate swimming with playing, telling them to swim as a mermaid or the spiderman. On the basis of the experiments carried through and organized for Isabela we identify her intention to have an object with which the kids could pass through it, pull and beat. As a final project we made a shark mouth, so that the kids could pass through it, and four little sharks to the kids beat and take them for the swimming pool. The mouth was made with a scaffolding of coated wire of pipe, having thus formed an arc. This arc received teeth of E.V.A glued with glue from contacts and in each one from these teeth placed one small metal ring for where passes a rope to give more firmness to teeth. The little sharks had had its done scaffolding of E.V.A stuffed with perforated pasta of swimming pool. After this process the sharks had been coated by "white clothes" of lycra in which, the fin, was sewn an elastic rope that in its another extremity loaded one strep done of knapsack rope and velcro. Maria Clara: the project made me learn to fulfill me stated periods, to search different alternatives, never satisfying me with the first one. Marcelo: I learned with the project to work hard, to be independent and to deal with unexpected problems..
