Cat in the Hat

Now we will start doing books! I borrowed the idea from Jocelyn over at http://beinglds.blogspot.com. She did the book a day over the Christmas holidays and I thought it was brilliant, so ya know, they say imitation is the best form of flattery and all that.
So, we have all read the Cat in the Hat, right? The craft possibilities for this are limitless..but I personally am a huge fan of the fish. So, we did a fishy craft.

Age: 3 & up
Difficulty rating: 2 out of 5
Messiness rating: minimal
Time: 10 minutes

Supplies:
Dixie cup or small cup
Cut out picture of the fish (you can trace it, print it or enlarge it too)
Craft stick
Blue tissue paper for water
White tissue paper
Construction paper, or cardboard paper

The Craft:

1. Cover the cup with white tissue paper.
   
2. Cut out a spout and a handle.
3. Cut a slit in the bottom of the cut for the craft stick.
   
4. Glue the fish to the craft stick.
5. Stick the craft stick through the slit, so the fish is in the "tea pot."
6. Put blue tissue paper around it for the water in the pot.
   
7. Move stick up and down as the fish pops in and out of the water!
