White glue (we used Crayola® School Glue, which dries clear)
Oil pastels (we used Sakura Cray Pas® Junior Artist oil pastels)
What You Do:
Students draw the outline of a fish on large paper. Black poster paper works best.
Encourage them to add scales, fins and any other detail they would like.
Students then trace over their drawn lines with glue and allow the glue to dry (preferably overnight).
Students then color in the areas between the glue lines, with oil pastel. The brighter the better.
Note from Karen: We entered some of the fish in a local art show and won best in show.
Note from KinderArt:
We used
Sakura Cray Pas® Junior Artist brand oil pastels and Crayola® School Glue (it dries clear)
