One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish....

Here is another craft that I call an "easy enough for a one year old Craft":) We have done this with a sun, an Easter egg and a few other concepts. It makes quite the mosaic!
Yesterday we read the famous One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish By Dr. Seuss so I wanted a quick and easy craft since most of my kids were 2 and under yesterday.

Here is what you need...(Sorry for the crummy pictures, I am still learning my new camera)
Simple right?
  • Wax Paper
  • glue of pretty much any kind (my kids LOVE the magic finger glue-you can find it at Lakeshore Learning or Discount School Supplies)
  • Safety scissors (if you are working with a lot of under 3's like me I suggest pre-cutting)
  • Lots of torn or cut tissue-the kids love to tear the tissue up!
  • any kind of fish stencil you prefer.
  • string/tarn to hang it by!
  1. Cut out two pieces of wax paper into the shape you are wanting. In this case a fish.
  2. Spread glue on one of the pieces.
  3. Apply the torn up tissue.
  4. pour some glue over the tissue and place the second fish cutout on top.
  5. Allow to dry and then poke a small hole through it and thread the string through.
  6. Hang it up on display and watch how proud your kids are of their very simple, colorful, fishy!

Oh how I love all of the little artists I have around here! Really, these kids are amazing and going to do BIG things someday! I should frame these, they will be worth millions someday!!;))
