Heart Shaped Clay Rainbow Fish

Did you catch my End of Summer – Ice Cream Kid Craft? Well – today’s clay rainbow fish craft goes hand in hand with it. With summer sadly coming to a close son, I wanted to share another kid friendly craft centered around the hot season {before pumpkins and Halloween start to consume to my blog}

The other day I was cleaning out my craft room, when I came across a half used package of air-dry clay. I didn’t really have a kid craft in mind when I found it, but once I came across a stray heart cookie cutter in one of my drawers – it all started to come together.

After some debating in my head – these clay and sequined rainbow fish came along nicely.

I don’t know about you but when I think of summer, I think of a beach and fish swimming freely. With a little imagination, kids can decorate and customize their own fishy creations. Then let air-dry and turn the end results into magnets, home decor or whatever your heart desires!

Find all the crafty details below! Happy crafting, my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your clay fish creations with us on our Facebook to admire! #gluedtomycrafts

* First cut out your heart shapes for the fish bodies. Lay them on a plate or cookie sheet, where the cutouts will be able to dry for a few days {but wait – there’s more!}
* Before you let them dry, grab your sequins and have your child push them into the clay, to decorate the “fins” of the fish.
* Once you have all the sequins in, paint on the lips and eyes of the fish.
* Now you are ready to let the clay pieces air dry for a few days, undisturbed, until they are completely hard.
* Once they are hard, display as is OR add magnets to the back of each clay rainbow fish, so you can display them on the fridge to enjoy every day!
