Craft Instructions

1. First, fold your paper over, and cut it to make a square. Then, fold the left edge down to meet the bottom and cut the excess paper off. Then fold the bottom and left edge so they meet in the middle where the first fold line is. When it’s all folded it should look like the shape of a kite!

2. Next, fold your paper along the centerline again and cut down from the fold to the new lines you created. Keep them a little bit apart and stop about an inch from the wide end of the fold.

3. Now, put glue on one of your side flaps and fold it over to create a triangle.

4. Now that you have a fish body, you can trim the tip to make it rounder. Then cut out scrap piece to round off and make into your fish mouth.

5. For your last steps, you are going to use some more scrap paper to make some fins and eyes for your fish. Use a marker to draw on your fin lines and your eyes. Now that is one funky Flexi Fish.
