Father’s Day Fish Craft
Kitchen Tool Fish Craft for Father’s Day
- Grab Tools
Grab a few spatulas, potato mashers and forks. Pour some different coloured paints on a paper plate.
- Fish
Cut out the shape of a fish and a fin from a sheet of white printer paper.
- Paint
Use a small amount of painter’s tape to secure the fish to the table. Let your toddler decorate the fish using all the kitchen utensils.
- Eye
Once your toddler is done painting, have them stick the fin on to the middle of the fish. Then stick a googly eye on the fish’s head. Set the fish aside to dry.
- Decorate the Card
While you wait for the fish to dry. Take a piece of construction paper and have your toddler use the same utensils to decorate the front of the card with green seaweed and coral.
- Make the Card
Once everything is dry, fold the construction paper in half to create a card. Use glue to secure the fish to the front of the card.
