Rainbow Fish Craft
This is SUCH a fun craft for young children to do. There's
something about shiny little scales that just cheer my 2 year old daughter
right up! Our rainbow fish has a permanent place of honor on the
refrigerator. Tip from Val: To make the Rainbow Fish Crafts look underwater, stick it to a blue sheet of construction paper and glue on top one sheet of slightly crumpled
plastic wrap. Tip from Terrie: I often teach the 2/3 year
olds at Sunday School and last week we did the Jonah story. To simplify your fish craft
I used the template for an outline and traced it onto blue construction paper.
I cut it out so that the outside was still one piece. We glued the the tissue squares and tinfoil squares onto a plain white piece of paper, and then laid the blue construction paper over top. We then had a colorful fish in the middle surrounded by blue construction paper "water"! . The kids loved it, and it was easier for them. |
