Paper Plate Fish to Make with Toddlers

What you need

Paints of various bright colours
Paper Plates
Paint pallet
Overalls
Scissors
Sticky Tape

How the fun happens

Using the same basic idea as Plate Fish 1 cut out a triangle from a paper plate and attach to the other side with sticky tape.

Decorating the fish

Decant out paints into a paint pallet (I find if you don’t do this especially with finger paint pots the colours get mixed up into a general grey colour – this means that only a small amount of paint gets used each time making them go longer as well). Then I set up J in the high chair and put his fish and paint on the high chair tray and let him decorate the fish however he wanted to.

I then hung them up to dry and when dry will add eyes and probably some glitter as well

I think that the picture below says it all

The fun J had testing this idea
