Rainbow Fish

Tonight we read The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister. Then, we made our own rainbow fish.

I asked Aidman how we could make them and he said that we needed to paint a fish blue, green, and purple and then add glitter (I was thinking tin foil, but his idea was better).

Here Aidman is cutting out his fish, notice the tounge.


Lyssy cut her fish alittle too much, and then asked Mommy to cut one for her.



Then we got started painting.


Daddy even decided to join the fun. He wanted to make a shark instead.


The tounge again.



We were all so proud of our work.




Daddy caught a SHARK!!


And this will be week 5 of my 52 week challenge to get mama in a picture every single week.
