👍Why We Love This Fish Puppet Craft
Creative play- The nicest part about this craft is that once your kids create their puppets, they can actually play with them and make a puppet show! Putting on a puppet show with their fish was the perfect activity to keep them busy and creative while I made our Easy Baked Cod with Panko.
A 3D paper craft- Our kids love making their artwork "jump" off the page, as we have done with our 3D Pop-Up Pepper craft.
Fine motor skills. Our fish puppet craft allows kids to put developing cutting, folding, and gluing skills to good use.
✂️ Supplies
Notes on Supplies:
- We used construction paper for the fish puppet cutout, but thinner, colored paper for the scales.
- Tape or Elmer's Glue can be used.
- We love these kid-friendly scissors by Westcott.
