Are you looking for a fun and easy paper fish craft activity for kids? We have the perfect craft for you!
Fish is one of my favorite animals to craft. Do you know why? Because there are over 30,000 species of fish in the world. That is a lot, right? That is also why fish are so fun to craft because they all look different in size, color, and pattern. So many creative possibilities!
For this fish craft, we will use colorful paper in any color you like. If you don’t have colorful paper, cut a square from regular paper. We also created a YouTube video from this paper fish craft, so make it extra easy for yourself and watch the video before you start crafting. Enjoy!
To make these leaves you will need:
Colorful paper
Scissor
Glue stick
Scale
Pencil
Sketch pen
