Fish Crafts
Paper Plate Fish Bowl - Cut the top of a paper plate into a very shallow U so that it looks like a fish bowl. Draw fish shapes on the plate with crayons. Use watercolors to paint the plate blue. The crayon resists the color and makes a pretty fish bowl.
Fish Collage - Cut out simple fish shape. Give children glue and a box of cut up pieces of coloured paper/collage materials to "stick" onto fish to make a wonderful colourful fish. Excellent way to facilitate talking about different colours. ~ Submitted Anomymously
Fishing Pond - I did this project with my son because he had a fishing pole set with a magnet at the end of the fishing line to "catch" four plastic fish that came with the set. As you might imagine, it got kind of boring to catch the same four fish all the time... so we made a bunch of fish out of pipe cleaners by simply crossing the two ends of the pipe cleaners and twisting them to make a fish with a tail.
Then we created a large pond in the living room by laying out pieces of blue construction paper on the floor in a somewhat circular shape. We used long pieces of yarn to define the edge of the "pond" and a bucket from the sandbox to put our fish when we caught them. It was a great way to "go fishing" on a rainy day.
You could make your own fishing poles by using a cardboard tube from wrapping paper. Use a piece of yarn or string for the fishing line and tie it to one end of the tube. Then tie a magnet to the other end of the line (a refridgerator magnet would work well if there is a way to tie it on the fishing pole).
Fish Tanks - Put blue food coloring in vanilla frosting to make it light blue. Spread the frosting on graham crackers to make the tank's "water". Sprinkle half of the cracker with chocolate sprinkles to make the tank's "floor". Coconut tinted green can be the tank's "plants." Add some graham gold fish and you have a fish tank.
