Recycled Inspired Fish

Recycled Inspired Fish

Posted 2013-02-28 by Lucy follow
My daughter wanted to create an underwater scene in her bedroom and something vital was missing - some fish. After a quick hunt around our home, I came up with a great plan to remedy the situation using recycled items from the rubbish bin. I find there's something so satisfying about a good bit of re-purposing.

Recycled inspired fish


These guys are so quick and easy to create - even for tiny children (who love scrunching things up). They will feel a great sense of achievement and will play for hours with their creations, "swimming" around the house and garden.

Time: 15 minutes
Age: Under 5's
Level: Easy

Bag, string and paper


Materials
  • 2 sheets newspaper
  • 1 onion bag
  • string
  • 2 "googlie eyes" (or two round pieces of paper)

  • Scrunch that paper up


    Method
  • Scrunch up your two sheets of newspaper.
  • Stuff them into the onion bag, leaving it tied secure at one end.

  • Stuff the paper in the bag


  • Tie off the other end of the onion bag with string to form the "tail".
  • Stick your "googlie eyes" on to each side (or tape on some round pieces of paper with black pupils in the middle)
  • Tie another piece of string from the fish's back so that it can "swim" around the house.
