GLUE FISH

Grades: 3-8
Age: 7-12

A great lesson submitted by Karen Larmour - Teacher, Salem Baptist Christian School, Winston Salem, North Carolina, USA

What You Need:

What You Do:

  1. The students drew the outline of a fish on large paper. Black paper works best.

  2. They added scales, fins and any other detail they wanted.

  3. The students then traced over these lines with glue and allowed it to dry.

  4. The students then colored in the areas that were not covered with glue with oil pastel. The brighter the better. The effect was wonderful.
  • We entered some of the fish in a local art show and won best in show.
