Paper Plates, Paints & Glitter

My little girl is 2. Her favourite thing to do is paint. Last week, I did some surfing on the web for kiddies craft using the above things (paint, plates and glitter) and my search came up with....FISH. She got so excited when I told her what we'd be making. She ran straight to the Arts & Crafts box to see what we would need to buy, I confess I had to buy paper plates. Onto the shopping list went paper plates ans the all important googly eyes!!.

Today was a cold, misty day so I decided it was time to make something. Yup that's right. We were gonna make fish. She hasn't mastered the use of scissors yet, even children's ones so I did the cutting.

This is what you'll need:

Paper Plates

Scissors

Paint/Crayons

Sticky Tape

Googly Eyes

String

This is how we made them:

Step 1: Cut a triangle out of one side (this will be the tail)

Step 2: Paint/ decorate your fish....don't forget the tail.

Step 3: Allow to dry

Step 4: Once dry, tape the tail onto the fish. Hang string from top and hang from height.

Hey presto, colourful fish to hang. If you wanted to get creative you could make 4 or 5 fish and hang them from a wire hanger to make a fishy mobile. (pictures to follow)
