Crafty Tuesday: Make Construction Paper Fish

This week’s construction paper fish craft tutorial is super easy to prepare and assemble.  This is one of those crafts that the kids can do at the table while you are busy getting dinner ready.  Very little adult intervention is necessary if you cut out the pieces prior to starting.

Materials to make a Construction Paper Fish:
Construction Paper
Scissors
Glue
Google Eyes (optional)
Pen/Pencil
Bowl (optional)

Make a Construction Paper Fish:

1) Using the bowl, trace a circle on the construction paper.  You can freehand this as well.
2) Cut a circle.  I held five pieces of construction paper together and cut five circles at once.
3) Cut a triangle to use as a rear fin.
4) Cut oblong scales out of construction paper.
5) Cut a triangular mouth out of the circle.

 

 

6). Add the google eye.

7) Glue the original triangle to the tail end of the fish.

8)  Add scales!
9) Save  extra pieces for another day!
