Fishing
We made some fish we can "catch" with a magnet. Kids have just as much fun with plainlooking fish. But here is how we gave them some style:
I had her choose two colors of rectangles, and give each one a pattern with the same color of marker ("squiggles, stripes, dots, circles," etc)
Mine are on the left, hers are on the right. We drew a fish on one of these,
then cut them out, one on top of the other to duplicate.
We cut triangles out of one of them, which will be glued on top of the other...
Then put a paperclip on each fish, for a magnet-on-a-string to pick them up.
This design was my inspiration. I did this as my first experiment with my digital textures style.

this looks like a lot of fun. We're in for some freezing cold weather this week, maybe we'll make some fish and pretend it's summer. (=

My son and I did this project yesterday. He spent about an hour "fishing" after we finished making our fish. It was a great way to spend a snowy afternoon.
I LOVE this!
I sewed some up for my daughter a while back, but I think it's even better to have them make the fish too.
I'm SO ready for nice weather and sunshine!
