Egg Carton Fish
You betta believe we’ve got a great way to upcycle you old egg cartons! Here’s how you can turn them into your very own ex-squid-sit fish friends!
Here’s what you need:
- An egg carton
- Scissors
- Glue
- Paint
- Craft foam or colorful paper
TIP: If you don’t have either of these, you can paint some cardboard or scrap paper instead!
Here’s how you make it:
Step 1: Cut three cups out of your egg carton for each fish you want to make.
Step 2: Glue the rim of two cups together to create your fish’s body.
Step 3: Now your fish needs a tail! Give it one by gluing the bottom of a cup to the bottom of its body.
TIP: You can spice things up by cutting a cool design into the tail.
Step 4: Time to paint your fish! What kind of pattern do you want to give it? Don’t forget to give it eyes!
Step 5: Once the paint is dry, you’ll need to add your fish’s fins! Cut little triangles from your foam/paper and glue them to the top, bottom, and sides of your fish.
I really enjoyed this activity!
Wow, you never know what you can make with recycled materials! All you have to do is upcycle them!
It was difficult but my fish looked perfectly derpy 🙂
