Today’s video is: How to Make Rainbow Fish from a Plastic Water Bottle
This lesson is a great lesson with Earth Day around the corner as it re-uses materials, like plastic water bottles, and turns them into art!
The video is resurrected from a Facebook Live that my daughter and I put together last year at about this time.
In it we show you how to make a rainbow fish out of a plastic water bottle and some colorful tissue paper.
In the video, we use tissue paper, googly eyes, and sticky back foam, but these materials can be easily substituted for!
Colored newsprint (like from advertisement fliers that come in the mail) can replace tissue paper. You can draw on eyes (instead of gluing on googly eyes), and you can use construction paper for fins (instead of sticky foam).
We’ll show you the basic concept and you can modify it however you need to with the materials that you have available.
I originally did this lesson with a class of kinder and 1st graders, so I know 5-6 yr olds can do it, and of course kids of all ages from there will have fun with it! We hope that you (your kids) will join us and follow along!
The following supplies will be needed:
- plastic water bottle
- glue
- paintbrush
- tissue paper (or other thin paper…even newsprint would work)
- googly eyes (you can always draw on the eyes)
- sticky back foam (you can use construction paper)
- this video (to show all the steps of this project)
All you (or your kids) need to do is hit play, and I’ll take it from there.
