I teach Sunday school to a group of five - eight year olds for a whole month about every other month. It's always interesting coming up with something that teaches as well as entertains. I found Glitter Fish while searching Pinterest. While these glitter fish aren't as spectacular as shown on Catholic Icing, they were a big hit, and I'm glad to have had the site for inspiration.
Here's what we did today:
Take empty paper towel or toilet paper rolls, flatten them and cut them into strips. Then cut the strips in half at one of the ends.
Cut a slit on either end and attach them.
Voila, fish!
Next, take white school glue and mix 1:1 with water. Brush glue mix on the fish and drop them into a gallon-size zip lock filled with glitter. FYI: I was able to easily put three fish into the bag.
Shake it up (just like I batter my chicken!). Make sure the fish are covered with plenty of sparkles!
By the way, I didn't have enough glitter, so I added some other sparkly items I had on hand.

We didn't have time to let these dry before we had to head to church. I brought in sandwich-size zip locks to place them in. It limited the mess of glitter as the kids met up with their parents!
Great fun! Thanks again for the idea Catholic Icing!
