After reading 1 fish 2 fish red fish blue fish, help
your child create their own handprint fish. Place his hand, fingers together,
on a piece of copy paper. After tracing his handprint, rotate the paper so that
the handprint is horizontal with the thumb on top. Now, he is ready to use markers and assorted
art supplies to personalize his fish. For variety, you can help him make a fish
bowl by cutting the top 1/3 off a paper plate. Paint the remaining part of the
paper plate with corn syrup that has been tinted blue with food coloring. Help
your child cut out his fish, and once the fish bowl is thoroughly dry, have him
glue the fish onto the plate. Now, he is
ready to decorate the remaining part of the fish bowl.
