Paper Plate Goldfish Craft Idea

Dr Seuss Beginner Book Inspired Paper Plate Goldfish - Kid Craft

Paper Plate Orange Goldfish Craft Idea For Kids

Hi my crafty readers! I’m super excited to be sharing another kid friendly craft that goes along with one of my favorite childhood books.

Today’s paper plate and tissue paper goldfish tutorial goes perfectly along with the Dr Seuss Beginner Book – Fish Out of Water by Helen Palmer.

Not only is this a great book to read with children, but the “fish out of water craft” I’m sharing today is tons of fun so it really pulls everything together. Recently our afternoon “rapidly” grew when we read the book, did the craft and finished it off with some yummy goldfish snacks. It was a fish-tastic afternoon and I’m thinking about doing it again soon!

So what are you waiting for? This paper plate goldfish craft is super easy, fun for all ages and inexpensive too! Follow my step-by-step tutorial below and let the fun begin! Happy crafting my friends!
