Plastic Easter Egg Floating Fish

PLastic Easter Egg Floating Fish

 

It has been 2 months since Easter & I still have a pile of plastic Easter eggs filling up my craft drawers. We have used them many times in water play in the past. I thought we could dress them up a bit and make colorful fish out of them.

 

Plastic Egg Fish

 

What you will need:

Foam sheets
