Johnny made this cute fish at preschool, and I had to share! The tail is the triangle that was cut out for the mouth, with a googly eye and scales made from aluminum foil and tissue paper for decoration. Simple, cute, and fun – just the way I like structured crafts.
Preschool is finally out for the summer, and we’re making the most of long days interrupted only by the occasional gymnastics class. I even enrolled Lily in Mommy & Me classes for the summer! She has been begging to participate for months, and the staff at our gym kindly offered to let Emma and Johnny hang out with their summer camp kids during Lily’s classes – an offer I absolutely could not refuse!!!

It’s a good thing, too, because I have a hard time getting the more complex ones organized!

Cute!!! Swim swim swim…
The effort of having reasonably well-behaved kids pays off in the extra opportunities those kids get offered. I’m sure all three of your kids will enjoy their summer gym fun. :)

Did they read the Rainbow Fish to go along with this activity? Looks very similar to the fish in the book! =)

Not that I know of, but you’re right, it does! We’ll have to borrow that book from the library again!

So simple and fun. I love the end result, what a sweet fish to have.
Maryanne, your wedding dress post was such a joy to read. You are one clever, resourceful lady. You looked beautiful on your wedding day. One day Emma or Lily might walk down the aisle in your gorgeous dress.

His fish is super cute!
Have a blast in the Mommy and Me classes with Lily! I did them with Hanna and Joe and it was so much fun! So many memories.
