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 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 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!

Clay Rainbow Fish Craft Supplies:
* Air Dry Clay
* Heart Shaped Cookie Cutter
* Small/Medium Sized Sequins
* Craft Paint – red/brown
* Paint Brushes
* Paper Plate

Directions:
* 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 for on the fridge!
