One Fish, Two Fish – Thumbprint Dr. Seuss Craft Idea
We are at it again at Glued To My Crafts!!! With Dr. Seuss’ birthday just around the corner {March 2nd} I decided to come up with a “Thumbprint Fish In Fishbowl” printable to mark the special occasion!
Everyone knows the iconic story “One Fish, Two Fish” so I decided to pair this book with a SIMPLE DIY idea that can be easily framed and used to celebrate the upcoming birthday {and all those events most schools put on to mark this yearly occasion!}
This Thumbprint Fishbowl Idea w/free printable template is super easy to make within minutes {you can join them too!} and it’s relatively inexpensive too!
You can also add materials to reflect different personalities and style, while still keeping the price on the cheap! We are talking CENTS to pull this Dr Seuss-themed craft together today!
In this post, I’ve included a FREE fishbowl printable template {thanks to LisaMarkleSparkles on Etsy for the awesome clipart!} so all you need to do is print the file, grab some ink pads and have your children add their thumbprints to complete the craft. It’s so simple, you have NO excuse NOT to do it!
So what are you waiting for? Download the file below and get to work on creating this adorable Fishbowl Themed Dr Seuss DIY. Then {if you like} place the finished fingerprint fishbowl paper piece in a beautiful frame or in a scrapbook to enjoy year, after year!
I hope you enjoy making it with your child! Happy crafting, my friends! And don’t forget to follow us on Facebook, so you never miss a new tutorial from us! #gluedtomycrafts
