Draw the outline of a fish or ask an adult to draw one for you. Collect lots of brightly coloured paper from magazines, junk mail, newspaper and packaging. Cut into different shapes to decorate your fish. Glue them in place like scales and draw or stick on an eye. (If you don’t have glue, make a mixture ½ cup of flour and ½ cup water and mix together. Add more water if it is too thick)
