The Rainbow Fish


Today, I went back to visit the girls and daddy. They were having a pajama day today, something they just love to do on weekends with dad. Yesterday, I told Hannah the story of the Rainbow Fish (about sharing) so today I read them the book “The Rainbow Fish” by Marcus Pfister. Then we made our own coffee filter rainbow fish. Once again, they had a blast making their fish. I think they made lots of things in day care and since they haven’t been there this week (they were blessed with Impetigo) I think they really enjoyed these activities. The coffee filters were colored with the washable markers, any way whatsoever, then lightly sprayed with water, so the colors ran and blended to soften them. After daddy and I used hair-dryers to dry them (just takes a couple minutes) I gave Hannah a glue stick and had her glue it to a half sheet of construction paper. Using a fish template, she drew around it and then I cut out her fish...she was very impressed with this. Next, I cut up little pieces of aluminum foil (shiny fish scales) and let her glue them to the fish. Then she gave the fish an eye, nose and mouth...voila! Lillian had similar fun gluing on her shiny fish scales.
