Using simple materials, you too can pull this fish-tastic cupcake liner fish craft idea together with your child in no time!

Craft Supplies:

Directions:

First have children pick out what color mini cupcake liner cups they want to use to make the scales on their fish. You can do all one color or do multiple colors like we did. You will need approximately 20-30 cupcake liners per paper plate fish you make.
Once you have your different colors of cupcake liners picked out – it’s time to make them into scales! Simply have children flatten each cupcake liner and then fold in half with some glue in the center, to create one fish scale.
Repeat for each cupcake liner and set them all aside.
Next take your paper plate and put a good amount of glue all over it.
Have children place the finished cupcake liner pieces on top of the glue, until the paper plate is completely covered {if you need to – add more glue to secure the liners to the plate.}
Once done, set it aside to let it dry completely.
Next it’s time to give our fish a personalized look. Grab your cardstock and marker.
Carefully trace around your child’s hand.
Trim out. This is a fin for the fish.
With the remaining cardstock, cut out a mouth and a fish tail to complete the look.
To finish off the Cupcake Liner Fish craft – staple/glue the cardstock pieces in their designated spots on the paper plate. Go ahead and also glue on the googly eye as well.
Then display proudly your finished fish craft creation {or add other embellishments to really make it your own!}
