SLICE OF A TREE BRANCH OR TRUNK, “TREE COKIE” COULD BE USE AND PRUNING SHEARS NEEDED TO CUT STICS TO CORRECT LENGTH.

instructions….

This is simple. A glue gun works better than liquid glue and adult assistance will be required. YOU should select sticks about the width of an adult’s little finger and about 6 to 8 inches long in order to making this craft find sticks that have a slight curve to them.

One wiggle eye and a leaf or two. Glue the “backbone” to construction paper, cardboard, or a wood slice before the activity for young children. Older children can do all the gluing themselves. The children break the twigs to the same length and lay them across the “backbone” of their fish. Young children will need help gluing the “bones” in place at intervals along the backbone. The leaves can be used without cutting if they are pointed, or they can be notched with a scissors to form the head and tail of the fish. Glue the eye in place on the leaf. Good luck
