Cupcake Liner Fish Craft
Grab a paper plate and paint it yellow. I used water colours because they dry faster than regular paints. Once the plate is dry, cut out a mouth. Then tape the mouth to the end of the fish as the tail.
Grab your colourful cupcake liners and fold them in half and start to glue them down starting at the tail end of the paper plate fish.
Once you reach the mouth stop. Grab a button or a googley eye and glue it down above the mouth for an eye.
Cut out fins from yellow construction paper. For older kids have them cut their own. For preschoolers, you can draw the outline of one fins for them to try and cut. Make it larger than normal so that it is easier for them. Cut out the fins if doing this activity with toddlers.
Tape your fins to the back of the paper plate fish.
Age Suitability
This activity is good for kids 3 years and up. My kids are 3.5, 3.5, and 7 year old.

Make quiet time their favourite time!
Play is at the core of learning during the early years and it can take many forms. One of the most important of these is sensory play because it engages all of a child’s senses (taste, touch, smell, sight and hearing) and has a enoumous positive impact on brain development.
My Sensory Play Kits are a fun and easy way to keep your child engaged while at the same time capitalizing on the benefits of sensory play to nurture their mind!
