How to make this craft step-by-step:
Materials
To make a fish board you need:
- 2 white sheets (A4)
- 1 dark blue sheet (A4)
- 1 light blue sheet (A4)
- a thick black marker
- abstract shape stickers
- magazine letter stickers
- a glue roller
- a pair of scissors
- a black and white strong card frame
Step 1
Draw 3 fish (about 15 cm) on a sheet of white paper using a thick black marker.
Make a black line to separate the head from the body of the fish, then draw an eye.
Note: the uniqueness of the fish drawn by children will add charm to this creation!
Step 2
Cut out the fish, leaving a slight white border around the black line to add some contrast.
Step 3
Decorate the bodies of the fish using colored foam stickers in abstract shapes for a unique finish.
Step 4
Tear a strip of blue paper widthwise to create the waves that will form the marine background of the picture.
Step 5
Glue the wave onto a white sheet (A4 format), making sure to leave a white area of about 10 cm at the top of the page.
Note: Use a glue roller, applying glue only on the edges of the wave. This will allow us to slide the fish between the waves at the end of the activity.
Step 6
Cut out waves by hand, alternating between light blue and dark blue paper, and then glue them on top of each other.
Step 7
Glue a nice black and white frame above your underwater background using the glue roller.
Step 8
Customize the top of the board with a name using magazine letter stickers.
Step 9
Glue the fish onto the waves (or between two waves) to complete your painting.
