That is, the body can be of one color, and the fins and tail of another. And if the fish is monochromatic, then with the help of a felt-tip pen, children will decorate such waterfowl.

Let the child glue a paper boat at the top of the sea waves. It remains to make algae out of green paper and attach them too. Here is such a voluminous craft on the marine theme. You can make games about the underwater world based on it. Then you glue the threads in the form of loops. The child will hold these toys by the string and pretend that they are floating.
