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! Don’t forget to share pictures of your finished craft on our Facebook page wall. We can’t wait to hear from you!
