Craft: Paper Plate Ocean Sunfish

 Have you ever heard of sunfish? They're one of the heaviest boned-fish in the world! Sunfish (also known as Mola) can grow up to 11 feet, and weigh several tons. Make your own (much smaller) Mola fish at home with this craft!

You Will Need:

  • White paper plates
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Gray tempera paint (or mix black and white paint together) or you can use gray crayons or markers.
  • Scraps of paper and markers or crayons

Instructions:

1. Take a single paper plate. Cut off part of the plate as shown in the photo below. You’ll basically be leaving one ridged edge of the plate as the tail and cutting off the remaining ridged edge.
2. Cut out two triangles from another paper plate.
3. Glue one on top and one on the bottom of your paper plate. Allow the glue to dry.
4. Paint your entire sunfish gray, or, feel free to color and decorate your fish however you want!

4. Cut out an eye and a mouth from your scraps. Use marker or crayon to color them.

 
5. Glue your mouth and eye to your sunfish and let dry. That’s it!
