Egg Carton Finny Fin Fin Fish Craft

The other day i was reading The Three Little Fish And The Big Bad Shark by Ken Giest to my daughter. This is by far our most favorite book to read together. I have been reading it to her since she was 3 yrs old. Now that she is 7 and can easily read by herself, she still occasionally makes me read it to her in all my voice changes for the characters. So as I was thinking of making another ocean themed craft I thought of making an adorable Finny Fin Fin fish craft.

For this craft I wanted to use a different material yet a simple one that is easily available to everyone. So I decided to use an egg carton. Now the tricky thing was that the egg carton that I buy is styrofoam one so I had to double coat the paint. As usual my mini me was following me around and eagerly painted the egg cartons with me. We made 2 yellow sharks, 2 blue whales and 2 pink fish.

Materials For Finny Fin Fin Fish Craft:

• Egg carton (6 eggs one is enough as we made 6 fish)
• Paint (yellow, pink, blue)
• Construction paper (yellow, pink, blue)
• Scissors
• Glue

Instructions For Finny Fin Fin Fish Craft:

1. Cut out the egg carton into six individual egg boxes. As shown in the picture below:

2. Paint 2 pink, 2 blue and 2 yellow egg boxes.

3. Now cut out the tails and fins of the fish. Cut out 2 yellow shark fins for the top, And cut out tiny blue strips for the water sprouting out of the whale blow hole.

4. Paste the the tails in the inside part of the egg carton. As shown in the picture below:

5. Now start pasting the fins.

6. Draw eyes and and smiles on your fish.

Your pretty Finny Fin Fin Fish Craft is ready!!!
