Making: Fish Paper Collage

18 August 2010No Comment

Here’s another simple paper collage work that we did together that day.

The kids made their own fish paper collage, mostly using the flyers we found in our mailbox (ie. before we threw them away)

What we used:

– Plain coloured paper as the background and for the head, tail and fins
– Flyers or other colourful scrap paper
– Scissors, pencil, marker and glue

What we did:

– Cut out the following:
a) Two bigger triangles for the head and tail (refer to top photo for the shapes, if you wish)
b) Two smaller triangles for the fins
c) Lots of small circles for the body

– Draw with a pencil a mango-like shape in the middle of your paper

– Stick the ‘head’ and ‘tail’ on each end (refer to top photo)

– Stick the circles on the body, using the ‘mango shape’ as a rough guideline

– Draw the eyes and mouth on the head

There you go!

One simple collage activity for the little ones!

[A little too fast and easy for Anya who’s already 6yo though]
