Rainbow Fish Story and Craft

If you want a fun and easy craft for your kiddos....think COLLAGE! My kids LOVE glue and little bits and bobs of whatever I can find in their craft drawer. So today we made a fish collage! 

But not just any fish collage...a rainbow fish collage! 

We read the story of the Rainbow Fish, which tied in nicely to "Beach Week" and is the perfect transition into "Under the Sea Week" next week ~ which I need to somehow combine with a "4th of July" theme {I think I'm over-thinking all this a bit}. Anyway, the Rainbow Fish story is really popular with my girls so they were so excited to see all the fun stuff set out for them after breakfast!

I gathered ~ sequins, glitter, sand, seashells, buttons, googly eyes...and, of course, GLUE! Lots and lots of glue!

It was a lovely morning. Messy, yes. But that's normal around here :) I finally got smart and bought a vinyl table cover from the party store. I don't know why it took me so long to figure this out. Until now, I've been laundering seven table cloths each week!!! 

Aren't these pretty? I love the sparkly sequins. :)
