Eric Carle Inspired Fish

Here are some fish we made from painting paper in different colors and then cutting it up.  Inspired by Eric Carle.

We used a bunch of different instruments to color sheets of paper.  Then I cut them into scales.

Children picked a color to stamp a head. After it dried I cut of the body.

Then the children collage on the scales.  I showed them pictures of actual fish scales and how they overlapped. But didn't push that concept, and let them put them on however they wanted.
