How to Make It:

  1. Glue thin toothpicks across an ice-cream stick. Leave a small space between them. Let them dry.

  2. With an adult’s help, trim the ends of the toothpicks to make a fish shape.

  3. Paint the sides of the toothpicks that face you (not the side glued to the stick). Pick up the ice-cream stick by the ends. Press the painted side of the toothpicks against a piece of construction paper. Paint the toothpicks again with a different color, and press them on top of the first print.

  4. When the paint dries, tear around the painted fish shape, adding fins as you tear. Cut or tear rectangles, one slightly larger than the other, from colored paper or a paper bag. Glue them and the fish to a folded piece of poster board. Add paper bubbles and an eye.
