Super Summer Craft

I just picked my kids up from camp at the Weddington Activity Center where they take gymnastics. They're in a tumble and art class and they brought home the cutest craft! I'm stealing their idea to share with you, since I'm sure you have all of the materials already in your house.

You will need:
* empty water bottles (1 per fish)
*square pieces of tissue paper (great way to use this up after a birthday party/gifts that you get!)
*googly eyes
*construction paper

1. Take an empty water bottle and let your little one glue the tissue paper all over the fish. Some may make a pattern/design, and some may just glue randomly.
2. Once the tissue paper is dry, twist the bottom half of the bottle (this will resemble the tail).
3. Cut out fins for fish from construction paper and glue on.
4. Glue on googly eyes.
5. They taped on fishing line so that you can hang it up; I"m sure you can use any type of string/etc. you like.





Have fun!
