Crafts with children are a good option for a rainy afternoon, but at any time of the year we can enjoy this beautiful activity that helps children develop their imagination and psychomotor skills.

How to make a balloon fish with egg cups

1. For each fish you need two holes from the egg cups , so you can cut all and make several different models.

2. Put glue on both edges of the egg cups and glue them together. You may have to adjust them a bit to fit them. Squeeze for a few seconds so that it is firmly fixed and wait for it to dry.

3. On the cardboard, draw two fins, cut them out and glue them on the top and bottom of the egg cup. Do not forget to put a small tab so that it sticks better.

4. Draw on the cardboard the mouth and tail of the fish, you can make different models. Cut it out (with the tabs too) and stick your mouth in front and the tail from behind.

5. Paint the body of the fish with red acrylic paint, and the fins in pink. You can also use the card of the color you refer, or add a little glitter. When the paint has dried, stick the mobile eyes on both sides. Use a thin thread to hang the fish.
