Shiny Fish


 This version of Shiny Fish is a variation of the Mosaic Flower
It's an example of how the craft can be modified to fit a younger audience.


  The free-style painting segment encourages creativity, 
and teaches a new colour (silver).

Fish are so much fun! Particularly when paint (read: getting messy!) is involved. The preparation of the mosaic background requires children to sit and concentrate, encouraging a longer attention span. Kids will also learn about shiny and reflective materials.
This craft is most suitable for 2.5 - 3 year olds with parental help.

Aquarium - Here Fishy Fishy Fishy!




Buggy Bee Kids was invited to do a craft session at Little Skool House. They wanted a simple craft which reinforced the 3 primary colours, to be in line with their Nursery 1 curriculum. The challenge was to have all 13 pieces of work completed in half an hour.

To let the kids experience different ways of adding colour, and to keep them interested, they were asked to paint, colour with crayons, and paste old angpow paper. They were more than happy to get dirty! 

These aquariums were all made by Nursery 1 students (20-36 months old) with very little adult help.

Mission accomplished!
