DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Triangle Fish Paper Craft
|
|
OK, it's time to do a craft for my youngest!
She's just beginning to make crafts and we're working on SHAPES! Make sure you reinforce
the fact that these are all triangles when you're doing the craft. You can count the
triangles and sort the triangles. You can also talk about other things that are
shaped like circles (like a pyramid or a piece of pie).
Materials:
- something to colour with,
- a printer,
- scissors,
- glue and
- a piece of paper
Instructions:
 | Print out the template.
|
| Sort the triangles into big, medium, small, and
tiny. (this is harder for the little ones than it sounds but is great practice!)
- Glue the medium triangle (the tail) onto the big
triangle (the body).
- Glue the small triangle (the fin) onto the body
- Glue the small circle (the eye) onto the body and
the tiny triangle (the mouth) onto the body.

Alternative Decorating Ideas:
- Print the template on heavy construction paper or
card stock. Then glue a popsicle stick or tongue depressor onto the fish to make a
puppet (if you don't have either, you can always tape a pencil on).
- Print two black and white templates, one on red
construction paper and one on yellow construction paper. Mix and match the pieces to
make two multicoloured fish.
- Use markers, sparkles or sparkle glue to decorate
the fish with stripes or pocka dots.
Templates:
- Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
- Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one
page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
