Begin by painting a paper plate in your choice of fish colors. Let dry completely.

While the paper plate dries, print out the tail template and cut out. Trace the tail on a corresponding color of cardstock. Cut out.

Glue a large googly eye to the front of the fish.

Then glue the tail to the back of the fish.

Now, use the 1” circle punch to make a bunch of circles out of various colors of cardstock.

Fold the circles in half. Then glue the folded circles to the back ⅔ of the fish in a scale-like pattern.

Finally, use the smaller circle punch to make a small white circle out of cardstock or paper.

Glue the small white circle in place for the mouth.
