News paper fish prep

The steps to make your crafty toddlers newspaper fish are as follows:
/ Draw some fish, shark, octopuses, nessy monsters on a newspaper and cut out (tip: try to cut through as many sheets as you can to save you cutting out the same shape over and over).
/ Take a piece of blue A4 paper and rip a wavy line across the long side of the paper, about 10cm from the top. Discard the smaller ripped off piece.
/ Crumple up the large piece of blue paper and then flatten out and stick on top of the white A4 using glue.
/ Now the fun begins... select your sea animals and stick on in any place or direction that you like.
/ Use a felt tip pen to draw faces, bow ties, hair, teeth, gills on to the sea animals.
/ Stick opn some sequins for eyes of the sea animals
/ Apply some glue to certain areas of the craft (e.g. the top of the sea, around the sea animals) and then use some glitter to jazz the sea scene up
/ Use a felt tip pen to draw some seaguls and boats above the ocean.

And voila! A lovely sea animals scene!!
