Cut a wedge out of a paper plate and glue it on the opposite side creating a fish tail and
mouth. Cut out “scales” using construction paper, tissue paper, craft paper, foil or anything else you can think of :) The foil is for the shiny scales from the book. Start
gluing the scales onto the fish until you have covered the entire surface of the plate. Turn the fish over and trim the excess paper along the edge of the fish. Add a googly eye and
a couple of fins and you’re done!
