Steps
- Step 1Visit our YouTube channel, UnitedArtandEd, for complete marbling and project instructions.
- Step 2Cut 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 3Arrange and glue the marbled fish body to a piece of blue construction paper. Make sure not to glue the body flat - glue only at the ends, with the middle curved up for a 3-D look. Attach fins and tail by the edge only, crease and shape to give a 3-D flair. Apply a wiggle eye to each fish with glue.
