Cupcake Liner Rainbow Fish

Here’s a fun and easy rainbow fish craft for kids that is perfect for story time or any day of the year!

Cupcake Liner Rainbow Fish - Story Time Kid Craft Idea

Rainbow Fish Craft Idea Using Cupcake Liners

I may sound like a broken record by now – but I honestly had a TON of favorite children’s books growing up.

Reading was always the center of my early childhood life.

From picking out books on the Scholastic ordering form or even going to the local library with my parents, on a nearly weekly basis. My dad still to this date, makes tons of trips to the library and always have a huge pile to go through. If I had more time in the day, I would be doing the same right now.

So whenever I find a childhood favorite of mine, I instantly have to purchase it and add it to my son’s ever-growing collection {even if he could care less about my motives or feelings behind it!} I just want him to grow up with the same love and appreciation of books like I have. There is just something about a book that brings out your imagination and good memories too.

Take for example the beautiful illustrated children’s book “Rainbow Fish” by Marcus Pfister.

Although I don’t have any direct memories about it per say {just that we read it often in elementary school} I do instantly remember it and smile when I see the beautiful foil-stamped front cover. So naturally – we had to do a kid friendly ocean craft in honor of that beautiful rainbow colored fish in the story.

So not only is today’s Cupcake Liner Rainbow Fish kid craft tutorial perfect to do in honor of the book but it’s also super simple, fun for all ages and inexpensive too. You honestly have no excuse to let the craftiness “swim” away – grab those supplies {and book} and get to work asap! Happy crafting my friends!
