Age Range: Elementary to Middle School
Time: 2 Class Periods
Difficulty: Moderate
Cleanup: Soap & Water

General Materials:

White Sulphite Paper

Scissors

Glue

Construction Paper

	Step 1: Mix ingredients according to packaging instructions. With Jacquard Marbling Colors, marble several sheets of sulphite paper. When marbling, try imagining fish patterns. Tip: Using distilled water for mixing ingredients helps marbling colors float better.
	Step 2: Cut fish body and fin shapes out of the marbled papers with scissors. Students may wish to trade marble scraps to add variety to their fish.
	Step 3: Arrange and glue the marbled fish body to a piece of construction paper. Attach fins and tail by the edge only, crease and shape to give a 3-D flair. Apply a neon movable eye to each fish with glue.
	Optional Tip 1: Pre-treat your marbling surface with allum for a cleaner transfer! Just soak your paper in an allum bath, remove and then allow it to dry prior to marbling.
