Materials needed to make a tropical clown fish paper plate fish craft for kids

Make this clownfish craft!

1. First, draw a few fun squiggly lines with the black Sharpie from top to bottom of the paper plate. There will be 5 lines, one that sections off the face and 4 more that will be white stripes on the fish.

2. Carefully paint the rest of the paper plate with the orange paint, filling in every other section and separated by the black lines. You should have two stripes on the clownfish and a white face. Cut a little triangle there to look like the clown fish’s mouth.

3. Next, using another paper plate and a pencil, sketch out fins for your paper plate clownfish. Use your scissors to cut them out. Once all the paint has dried, use your glue to attach the fins and googly eye to the paper plate. 

4. Lastly, use your black Sharpie to add designs and accents. You can add a bit more to your fish, using the black pen to outline your designs around the fins, or along the stripes. The sky is the limit!
