Who doesn’t love a sparkly goldfish? We’ve made many fish crafts in the past, including a bubble art blowfish, a handprint fish, and even fish prints from a homemade fish sponge! This is our first actual goldfish craft. Lorelai chose to paint hers orange with a “cosmic glitter paint” overlay. She claims that it shows […]
Clown Triggerfish Printable Craft
A couple of weeks ago, my daughter and I spent a day at our local aquarium. She was so into all of the fish, sting rays, and other aquatic life that the hours just flew by. We agreed that one of our favorites there was the Clown Triggerfish. It was tucked away in a small […]

Finding Nemo is such a cute movie. I remember seeing it in the theaters with a friend when it first came out. I also remember trying not to cry… and failing miserably. It’s just one of those movies that never gets old! Lorelai loved it as a young toddler because of all the bright colors, […]
Sponge-Painted Fish
How fun is this very simple craft/art project? Lorelai thought VERY! I bought a pack of 6 cheap sponges for a $1 at a new store near us and sacrificed one to make a shape. It was very easy slicing between the scrubber part and the sponge to separate. Then I carved a shape (a […]
