See post on the fun had during the reenactment activity here
Setting up the activity table with all the required paints, papers, cutting tools and precut fish shapes makes the craft go smoothlyAn assortment of fish shapes, cut out from brown (natural) paper plates and turtles, ready for kids to decorate and IMPORTANTLY some examples so they have an idea to springboard their imaginations offGoogly eyes, precut baby turtle shapes from green cardboard, twine, a carved wooden turtle inspiration and some cut off egg carton cardboard are the perfect tools to create some marvellous sea creatures.Making turtles, cut out the silhouette from paper plates first and decorate with “scales” from bits of mini muffin linersPreparing in advance is key to quick and easy craft activities for kids, easy for them to grab the materials and away they go!
These fun fish have a destination! Were made using brown paper plates and little “boats” dishes for food.Creatively decorated with glitter, big and little turtles – and adorable googly eyesLetting the kids DIY craft is most of the fun. See how creatively adorned with shiny metallic foil wrappers this turtle is? The paper plate base makes nice texture on his flippers and finsAn assortment of fish created using eco-disposable serving ware, these fish are made with little wood paper boats, and covered in silver and gold foil cupcake wrappers for a fish scale effect that catches the light and is shiny
A little stage was set using the fish craft. A throne was made for Varuna, and paper streamers and balloons were hung to give the underwater world effect, as well as all the crafted fish the kids had made during the activity section of the Krishna playday.
