Steps:

1

1 What lives in the ocean, a pond, or river? Fish! Lots of them! Use your imagination to create these Baggy Fish to swim in pretend water.

2 Cover your art area with recycled newspaper. Paint a paper lunch bag with Crayola® Washable Kid's Paint. You may use a sponge or a Crayola So Big Brush. Add an eye so your fish can see. While the paint is still wet, lay a piece of yarn on your fish to make a mouth. The yarn will stick to the paint when it's dry.

3 On construction paper, paint a watery home for your fish. You might paint waves, seaweed, or other fish. Lay your fish and water scene flat to air dry.

4 Crumple newspaper. Stuff your fish with it.

5 Ask an adult to help you tie the open end with yarn. Fluff out the tail. Lay your fish on its watery home.
