Fancy Foam Fish

This activity isn’t just about a fancy fish, putting on the sequins one by one is great for fine tuning fine motor abilities! Although some younger preschoolers would love this , I would probably not do this with toddlers, sequins have a way of finding there way onto tongues and into mouths!

Gather your materials. You will need 2 pieces of foam sheets, a marker, scissors, glue and some sequins. If you don’t have foam sheets fear not, plain old construction paper works too.
Draw an outline of a fish on one piece of foam and cut out.
Lay the first fish on the second piece of foam and draw a slightly larger outline and cut it out.
Make small cuts into the tail for a 3D effect, don’t cut too far or you may cut the tail off!
Cut a small mouth and hole for an eye. The larger outline underneath will make it look like there is a mouth and an eye! You could also use a gooley eye instead of cutting a hole. Glue the two pieces together.
Add lots of glue dots!
Add your sequins!
