PAIR YOUR GOLDFISH CRAFT WITH —> Paint Splat Ocean Scene On Paper
Craft Supplies:
- Wooden Clothespins – one per goldfish craft
- Orange Paint Pen
- Tiny Wiggle Eyes – two per goldfish craft
- School Glue
- Basic Craft Scissors
- Gold Glitter Cardstock Paper
- optional materials – glitter glue, rhinestones etc.
Check out our AMAZON storefront for supplies!
Directions:
- First paint your clothespin completely orange {or any color you like!} We personally love paint pens for this small task BUT you can get the real craft paint out and use small paint brushes.
- When done painting, set aside to let it dry completely.
- While those are drying, grab your cardstock and cut out some fish features – think fins/fish lips.
- To finish off the Clothespin Goldfish craft, have children “pinch” the fin cut out in between the clothespin and then glue their cardstock pieces & wiggle eye in place on the clothespin before playing and/or displaying proudly!!!
