How to make your Big Mouth Fish Surprise

Print out any of the templates. The one with or without an animal in the mouth. You can also choose not to use a template and draw your own fish using the images on here as a guide.

Colour in your fish. If using the plain version of this fish craft template, colour in the big fish, little fish, bubbles and sea floor scenery.

You may use markers, crayons or coloured pencils. Markers are perfect for heavier paper, while crayons and coloured pencil are well suited to regular paper.

Colouring done.

Fold along the line shown in the template. It is the upper jaw of the fish. Make sure it is folded in a clean straight line.

Now bring the clean fold you made to the lower jaw of the fish and press down to create another fold.

Done! The Big Mouth Fish Surprise printable will definitely thrill and fascinate the kids as it opens and closes to reveal a little surprise.
