An art activity to follow up reading The Rainbow Fish.
Materials: - Watercolors
- Brushes and water in cups
- Large white construction paper
- Pattern of fish
- Scissors
- Aluminum foil
- Glue
Plan: After reading the book and discussing it, we make rainbow fish with watercolors. I have the students watercolor the whole large paper in any way that they want. After the paper is dry, we cut out a fish pattern and glue a small aluminum foil scale on it. I keep the scraps of watercolor paper for the writing center. Comments: I am a fifth year kindergarten teacher. I was a third grade teacher for five years prior to teaching kindergarten. This was my first year in a public system, having taught in private schools before. I am very grateful for resources like this one, no matter how creative we may feel (or not feel)---learning from one another is why we do what we do. Copyright 1999 Lisa J. All Rights Reserved.
