Fish Printable
Using a fish printable or a few templates is a fun way to teach children of all ages about different fish that live in different environments. If you’re using it with a toddler it’s the perfect craft to tie into reading Rainbow Fish. As a preschool or kindergarten craft they can do more of the cutting and coloring with you. You can also print out multiple pages of the smaller fish and use it as an opportunity to decorate a wall or board with a whole school of fish.
