Book: The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister
This activity first involves creating sea creatures with modeling clay. The clay used to create the creatures in the photographs were made from Crayola Modeling Magic. A toothpick is a useful tool to create texture or for shaping. A visit to the beach or aquarium may be a good way to conclude learning about sea creatures.
Materials needed:
- Crayola Modeling Magic or sculpting clay
- Toothpicks
- Plastic food tray
- Clear enamel spray
Instructions:
- Create sea creatures using the modeling clay.
- Arrange the finished sea creatures in a plastic tray.
- Spray with clear enamel.
