Hello friends! Every month at my local library I have a free craft night for children. I wanted to show the kids how to make something that they could use outside during these last remaining weeks of summer and I decided on this fun fish windsock:
To make this craft you will need:
- 9″x12″ watercolor paper or poster-board
- crayons
- watercolors/brush,water
- fishing line or string
- tacky glue or a hot glue gun
- wiggle eyes
- Time: This craft will take about 30 minutes
Note: to make this project weatherproof substitute the crepe paper with ribbon or strips of plastic (you could cut strips from a disposable plastic table cloth or plastic bag) and laminate the watercolor paper before gluing it into a cylinder.
Please watch the above video to see how it is made! Happy crafting!
You are so talented

Thanks for this idea! I volunteer to do crafts in an elementary school and this is a great project for them. I think my 3rd graders could do everything but tie the string–some 8 year olds do not know how to tie–too much velcro on shoes!
