The Rainbow Fish

We have read The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister many times, and every time we read the book, C insists on making his own rainbow fish.  This is the first time that R made one though.  I think they both came out great!


I drew the outline of the fish, C and R colored their fish and added details, and then they glued on a few pieces of aluminum foil to make the sparkling silver scales.

I love Rainbow Fish. It's such a fun series of books. Great activity, I always love seeing that. Your kids showed a lot more enthusiasm than mine did when we did it.

We love rainbow fish - great books. Both R and C did great - it's too funny that C always wants to do this craft, and he is clearly a pro at it.

We haven't read this book in sooooo long.

Thanks for the reminder. I love the sparkles on C's fish.
