How to make this Father’s Day Fish Card:
- Begin by downloading and printing the FISH template.
- Cut your template out into sections. Refer to photo.
- Trace the body of your fish onto purple craft foam. Cut the head portion out of the fish template and trace this piece onto yellow craft foam and cut out.
- Trace and cut out the fins from orange craft foam. Set pieces to the side.
- Trace and cut out the seaweed from the dark green craft foam. Cut a smaller version out of the light green craft foam. Glue the pieces together.
- Glue the seaweed onto your white poster board or cardstock.
- Glue the body of the fish in the middle of the card, overlapping the seaweed. Glue the yellow head onto the body of the fish and then glue the orange fins onto your fish.
- Glue a google eye onto the fish’s head.
- Cut a small smile from black craft foam and glue in place. Cut a rosy cheek from pink craft foam and glue above the smile. You could also use markers or construction paper for this step.
