Steps to make a cut and Paste Fish

Step 1 – Cut out the shape of fish using coloured paper. I have used a yellow chart paper for the same. If your kid id old enough to do use scissors you can let the him to the cutting. For young children this is an activity for mommies

Step 2 – Using black sketch pen. Draw an outline and eyes

Step 3 – Cut out small triangles of another colored paper using a scissor. If you have post it notes lying around you can use that as there will no need of applying glue stick every time.

Step 4 – Let your toddler stick the triangles on the fish cut out. In the beginning I used to apply glue and give it to my little one but by the end of activity (Much to my surprise) he was doing both the activities himself.

Well that’s it actually. We loved this activity so much that we are making a Lion next. Check out the pic of our Lion in progress ..
