INSTRUCTIONS
1. Trace child’s hands on 4 different coloured papers (1 being blue
and 1 red).
2. Then, cut them out and glue them onto the 5th paper as shown
in picture.
3. Draw the fish faces and write the saying from the book: ‘One
fish, Two fish, Red fish, Blue fish’
This craft is great for children of all ages (even infants) because
you can do most of the work using just their little handprints –
for older children, they can trace their own hands!
