Have your child place scraps of paper inside the fish outlines.  Encourage them to fill all the space, and to try not to let the colored scraps go outside the edge of the black outline.

Lena played with these little fishes for a while and then decided that she wanted to make an ocean for them.  So we did!

I gathered a coat hanger, invisible thread, a hole punch, blue crepe paper, and tape.

First I punched a hole in each fish, and used invisible thread to tie them to the hanger.


Then, Lena cut strips of crepe paper and taped them to the coat hanger.  She had her ocean!
