Heart Shaped Clay Rainbow Fish {Kid Craft}

Did you catch my End of Summer – Ice Cream Kid Craft? Well – today’s craft somewhat goes hand in hand with it. With summer coming to a close, 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 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!

Supplies:
* Air Dry Clay
* Heart Shaped Cookie Cutter
* Sequins
* Paint – red/brown
* Paint Brush
* Plate

Directions:
* First cut out your heart shapes. Lay them on a plate, where the cutouts will be able to dry for a few days.
* 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.
* Let the clay pieces air dry for a few days, undisturbed, until they are completely hard.
