Print your free cutouts for The Cutest Fish Craft for Preschool! Preschoolers can practice cutting, gluing, and fine motor skills while creating their very own underwater friend. We made this fish craft to go along with our Hollydog Number 6 video, making it a fun hands-on activity for little learners practicing the number six. Make your fish, count along with Hollydog, and turn number learning into a creative preschool adventure!
Fun Fish Craft for Preschool
Materials Needed: free cutouts, yellow paint, sponge, scissors, glue stick, tissue paper, cardstock paper
Step 1: Print your free fish cutouts onto cardstock paper. Next, use yellow paint to sponge paint the paper plate. If you’re no into painting, try using Dot Dot markers, watercolors, or yellow tissue paper squares. This is a great craft to pair with learning about yellow!
Step 2: Now it’s time to make your fish mouth and fidh tail. Use your scissors to cut out a triangle on the side of your paper plate. Use your plate cut out as your fishes tail. Use a glue stick to paste it opposite the mouth. Head to our Summer Learning Hub for tons of great sea creature crafts.
Step 3: Use your scissors to cut out your one large fish eye, then paste it to the paper plate. Check out tons of great animal crafts in our Animal Learning Hub!
Step 4: Finally, add your colorful tissue paper squares to the middle of the fish. These are such beautiful scales! And, that’s it! Your cute little fish craft is complete! Be sure to hang your fish somewhere that needs some colorful cheer!
