Paper Plate Craft - little fishies

There is one thing almost ever child loves, FISH!!!

Let them make some fish of their own to play with. (if you use paper plates you can recycle them once the children break or get bored with them)

What you will need (items for one fish):

2 Paper Plates

• you can also use styroform

Scissors

Glue Stick - or - Stapler - or - Paper Fasterner (so the tail can move)

Colouring items; crayons, markers, paint, tissue paper

What you need to do:



Cut out a small triangle from the plate - this will be your fish's mouth.  Children can use saftey scissors, other an adult should cut out the pieces.


 

Out of second plate cut out another triangle, this will be the fish's tail.  You can make multiple tails for your fish from this second plate, so you can make a whole school of fish.



Now you will need to Glue/Staple/Paper fastener your tail onto your fish's body.

Time to colour your fish!

You can use any material to colour your fish (see materials above). You can also mix and match your materials.
