Fishy Craft Fun

In honor of the newest member to our household we made an in-door fishy windsock.

Supplies:
Paper
Scissors
Tape
Markers, crayons, colored pencils or whatever you like to color with
Paper streamers (or napkins if you don't have any streamers)
String or yarn

Draw an eye and a fin on the left and right sides of the paper. Make "waves" (as Z calls it) for fish scales.

It doesn't really look like a fish, but just wait!

Let your kiddos color as much (or as little) as they want.


Next take some paper napkins that you have lying around the house (if you don't have streamers) and color those up too.


Now, on the back side of your fish, tape on your streamers or your opened napkin to the bottom edge. PS: Don't worry if your napkin is shorter than your fish, you'll need that edge to overlap in the next step anyway.


Roll your fish into a cylinder and tape along one edge. Cut the napkin tail into wide strips. Tape on some string or yarn so you can hang up your fish for the world to see!

Do a fishy dance 'cause you're so excited
