![toilet paper tube fish materials](https://kidfriendlythingstodo.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/DSC_0307-2-paper-tube-fish.jpg)
- 1 Toilet Paper Roll
- 1 sheet of card-stock – I used orange but any color will do
- 1 sheet of tissue paper – either matching or contrasting color to your card-stock (this will be used for the fins)
- Elastic cording or ribbon to hang the fish from
- 1 large googly eye (about 1 inch wide)
- scotch tape and glue – I like Fabri-Tac Glue because it sticks right away with no dry time
- Marker, colored pencil, or crayon for gills
Instructions…
![toilet paper tube fish craft](https://kidfriendlythingstodo.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/DSC_0308-2-paper-tube-fish.jpg)
- Cut the piece of card-stock to fit the toilet paper tube and wrap it around the tube
- Tape the seem with clear scotch tape
- Cut triangle fins from the tissue paper for the bottom and top of the fish
- *I doubled them up so there were tow fins on top and on bottom
- For the tail fin, cut a longer piece of tissue paper and if you want make scallop cuts along the edge

- Tape the string on the inside of the tube
- *I taped mine near the eye
That’s it!
