Supplies for Recycled CD Fish Kid Craft

* Recycled CDs {one per fish}
* Tissue Paper {we used blue & green}
* Cardstock {we used yellow & orange}
* School Glue
* Rhinestones
* Wiggle Eyes
* Scissors

Directions for Recycled CD Fish Kid Craft

First have your child cut their tissue paper into small squares. Set aside.

Now grab your glue and have children paint/draw a thick layer of glue all over the CD, really making sure they get every inch covered {it doesn’t matter which side of the CD you choose to cover with glue}

Next have your child place the tissue paper squares on top of the glue, until the CD is completely covered and has a nice mosaic design to it.

Glueing Recycled CD Fish Kid Craft

To finish off the Recycled CD Fish – cut out some fins and lips out of the cardstock and glue those onto the decorated CD. Then finish off by gluing on some colorful rhinestones and of course your wiggle eye so your fish can see.
