Popsicle Stick Fish Bowl

Popsicle Stick Fish Bowl - Story Time Kid Craft Idea

Popsicle Stick & Dried Beans Fish Bowl Craft

Hi friends! Today I’m sharing a “groovy” Popsicle Stick Fish Bowl kid craft that goes along PERFECTLY for some craft time with the book Pete the Cat: A Pet for Pete by James Dean {Amazon affiliate link}

“Pete is back in New York Times bestselling artist James Dean’s I Can Read beginning reader Pete the Cat: A Pet for Pete. When Pete gets a goldfish, Goldie, he decides to paint a picture of his new pet. Word spreads of Pete’s cool paintings, and soon everyone wants one. But Pete doesn’t have enough time to make one for everyone in town. With a little help from his mom, Pete finds the perfect solution so that everyone can enjoy a Goldie painting and Pete has time to finish his homework!

A Pet for Pete is a My First I Can Read Book, which means it’s perfect for shared reading with a child. Fans of Pete the Cat will delight in this hilarious I Can Read tale featuring the grooviest cat, Pete!”

Pretty cool, right? Making this a great way to tie everything together with craft and story time in a fun afternoon! Yup – this is a must-do craft that is perfect for kids of all ages so I suggest you grab your supplies, “float” away with the kids and craft the afternoon away together! Happy crafting my friends!
