Yesterday, on Animal Day, we discussed the book I love my pet fish. So nice, because we have a small aquarium now, so we also have to take good care of the fish. We have Guppies, Neon Tetras and 2 Catfish, no Goldfish. That's why we make our own Goldfish ;)

How to make goldfish

Cut out 3 egg cups.

Paint the cups in pretty colours.

Let the paint dry well.

Paint thinly gold paint here and there and let the paint dry well again

Fold the tissue paper on your index finger.

Twist the bottom and stick in the cups.

Allow the glue to dry completely.

Stick the pompoms on the goldfish.

Punch circles out of black cardstock with the perforator and stick them on the eyes

Cut a pipecleaner, roll around a pencil and stick on.

Let the glue dry for a little while and your goldfish is ready!

We make three :))
