Flying-Fish Stick Puppets

Why

Let your creativity take flight! Use Crayola Color Explosion Spinner™ art to make several flying fishy friends for a puppet show.

Steps

1. Decorate several Crayola Color Explosion Spinner™ papers with the solution! Start by making a dot on the paper with a color-reveal marker. Then just follow the directions in the box.

2. Use the color-reveal markers to draw your fish puppets on several of the decorated papers. Cut them out with Crayola Scissors. Decorate each puppet with more pieces of Spinner paper to add eyes, fins, and a mouth.

3. Glue a craft stick or dowel stick on the back of each puppet with Crayola School Glue. Air-dry the handles.

4. You’re ready for ocean adventures with your new aquatic actors!

Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
