This week's stART project (story + art), we read Rainbow Fish to the Rescue (an oldie, but goodie book). And the boys made rainbow fish to go along with the story. We used poster board to help make our fish more sturdy. I cut up tissue paper and aluminum foil into little squares. I poured some glue into a bowl and handed both boys a paintbrush to brush the glue onto their fish. We just used a big black circle for the eyes.
The fish turned out Super Cute, didn't they?
As always I'm linking up to stART (story + art) at A Mommy's Adventures.

We've done this before minus the foil - I'll bet that makes it extra fun. They did a great job.
Yes, the fish did turn out super cute! :)
We have done this too! It's a fun craft.
You are such a crafty mom...I'm left with intense feelings of self-loathing after I see what you've been up to!...no, no keep it up, some day it will motivate me I'm certain...or not! Terrific though!
Always a classic! Cute fish!
You are seriously so good to be doing all these things with your kids. Very cute indeed
This is excellent timing for us! Our library's summer program is bringing a puppet show of Rainbow Fish next Wed. and I was hoping to re-read our collection of Rainbow Fish books on Mon. and Tues. and now I have a great art project to go with them. Maybe our Rainbow Fish can even go to the puppet show with us! Thanks for the inspiration!
I love all the materials you used. The effect is so cool.
Love the foil! Great idea!
Beautiful project for a great book, and I am impressed that the boys stuck with it. I tried a similar thing with Elmer, and my daughter was done after about 5 squares :)
They did turn out cute. And I love their cute, proud faces.
Your boys are adorable! And so is the rainbow fish. I love that book, I always have! :)
Really cute! Love it!
So cute. I love it.
