Stages of making a fish:

1. Make the base for the fish's body. Cut out a silhouette from purple double-sided half-cardboard or paper.

2. To create fish scales you will need colorful strips cut from yellow, orange, purple and red double-sided half-cardboard. They will be 7 cm long and 1 cm wide.

3. Start making the scales on the torso with the yellow strips. Glue their ends together with glue. Give them a little time to dry.

4. Apply stationery glue to the end of the torso.

5. Glue in one row.

6. Then let's take the orange strips. Glue their ends horizontally with stationery glue.

7. Apply glue to the purple torso near the yellow stripes and start gluing.

8. The second row is ready!

9. Now it's time for the red strips. Make drops of them by gluing the ends with glue.

10. Apply glue near the orange strips and start gluing the red ones.

11. The third row of fish scales is ready! The transition from yellow to red is very beautiful.

12. The last row will have a purple shade. To do this, take purple strips and glue them together as we did with the previous ones.

13. Apply glue to the torso and begin to carefully attach the purple strips.

14. Cut out the head of the fish from green double-sided cardboard.

15. Cut a small circle out of yellow double-sided cardboard or paper. This will be the fish's eye.

16. Draw a pupil with a black marker.

17. Glue the finished eye on the head.

18. Apply glue to the body of the fish near the purple stripes. Put the head on.

19. Make a tail for the fish. Cut out one 9 x 1 cm strip of yellow, red, orange, green and violet double-sided cardboard.

20. Glue their ends together.

21. Turn our fish over and glue the colored strips next to each other.

22. Press down and give a little time for the tail to dry properly.

23. At this stage our fish from colored paper is ready! Such a bright craft for a child will serve as a great opportunity to spend a pleasant and useful leisure time together with parents.
