Fabulous Fish

Another weekend spent at the beach so another beach inspired craft. These fish are super easy, require minimal preparation and are very toddler friendly.

We used:
Paper Plates ~ smallish ones which were great as they didn't take long and the kids didn't loose interest
Patty Pans ~ I cut these into halves or the larger ones into quarters
Glue Sticks
Sticker Dots ~ We added these for eyes but you could add googly eyes or just draw the eye on
Stapler
Scissors



I cut approx a quarter out of the plates to make a mouth opening and used the left over piece to form the tail.

Attach the left over quarter to the opposite side of the mouth using staples.

We then used glue sticks to paste the cut up patty pans all over our fish, they made brilliant scales as they didn't sit completely flat.

One of our very cute fish.
The variations of fish created, many scales verses minimalist.


Our completed school of fish up at Playgroup.
