Fish Craft
A couple of months ago we bought our girls beta fish – one for each of them. Since then my youngest wanted to make her own multicoloured one so a couple of weeks ago when the weather didn’t allow us to spend time outside we did just that.
Materials:
crepe paper – two or three favourite colours
1 small piece of cardboard
fish template
glue
scissors
pencil
Method:
- Print the fish template
- Cut out the shape of the fish from the template
- Cut the crepe paper in small little pieces
- Put the template on the top of the cardboard and with the pencil draw a line all around the fish
- Cut the cardboard with a scissors or a cutter depending on how thick is the cardboard
- Using your fingers or a wooden stick put glue on top of the cardboard fish
- Scatter the crepe paper on top of the cardboard
- Let it dry
- Play
Sounds pretty easy doesn’t it? It is really easy and the kids really enjoy doing it at any age – my eldest is 7 and my youngest 3 and they both really enjoy it!
Print out the fish template.

These are beautiful and so simple to make and if you do not have crepe paper then tissue would work well too.
