Go fish

Another idea: Bright blue

Step one
Draw a fish shape on a piece of card and cut out with scissors (you might need a grown up to help with this bit) then paint the fish with one coat of Resene Art Action Quick Dry and allow two hours to dry.

Step two
Paint the fish with two coats of Resene Tangerine, allowing two hours for each coat to dry.

Step three
Paint the eyes, mouth and a festive message with Resene Elvis and allow two hours to dry.

Step four
Make a hole in the mouth with the scissors (again, you might need to have a grown up help with this bit) and thread through a piece of gift ribbon, tying it into a bow. Groovy!
