Dr. Seuss Inspired Fish Canvas Keepsake

Happy Sunday everyone! How many of you know and/of heard of the saying “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish?”

Handprint Fish Canvas Craft Supplies:

* Large White Canvas
* Craft Paint – Light Blue, Red, Yellow, Dark Blue, Green, Orange, White, Black
* Paint Brushes
* Baby Wipes
* Scrapbook Stickers
* Cute Kid w/Hands

Directions:

* First paint your canvas a light shade of blue {or google an image of the Dr Seuss book cover and go with the original book colors}
* Next I painted Lil Man’s hands in each color and had him press them on the canvas for our “fish.” The first fish was yellow; then two green; followed with a red fish and ending with a blue one.
* Once you got the fish in place, let it dry completely.
* To finish your Handprint Fish Keepsake Canvas – add some fish features to the handprints {lips & eyes} and stick your scrapbook stickers on. If you want some reinforcement for the stickers – add a layer of Mod Podge over the stickers so they won’t go anywhere.
* For an added look, I painted on some bubbles in the water with white paint.
* Don’t forget to add your child’s name/age on the back so you remember when it was made. For easy hanging – hot glue some ribbon on the back.
