Bubble-Blowing Fish

Paint a real or imaginary fish swimming in a bowl. With no-mess Crayola Color Wonder™ Paints, the clear paint is inside the brush!

1. Why is it so fascinating to watch a fish swimming around in a bowl? Its little mouth opens and closes, sending bubbles up to the surface. Fins and gills gently wave in the water. A fishbowl is the world for a small fish--with plenty of water, sunlight, colorful gravel, greenery, and sometimes a toy to swim through.

2. With Crayola Color Wonder™ Markers and Paper, outline your fishbowl. Then with Color Wonder™ Paints, color in your picture. Blot with the blue brush so the water inside the bowl almost looks like it’s moving. Air-dry your painting.

3. Add more details to your picture with markers. Frame the scene by adding a border around the edges. Where will you hang your Bubble-Blowing Fish?

"An enormous fish tank in the dentist’s waiting room was inspiration for my son’s painting. We take mess-free Color Wonder everywhere!"
Russ D., father of 5- and 10-year-olds.

"After our summer reading club pet show, children painted pictures of their pets. There was much discussion about whether fish are really pets, because you can’t pet them!"
Jessica R., library volunteer.

Fish brains are not developed enough to sense fear or pain. Yet they can get seasick. One scientific experiment is said to have created waves in a fishbowl and the goldfish inside got sick.
