Fish at a Birthday Party

Making fish from clay has been a great art project for kids this summer.  

Recently, a group of kids made fish with me at a birthday party. Playing with clay is such a fun way for kids to celebrate a special occasion.

Each girl made her own fish based on the easy instructions I provided. Then, we went ahead and painted the fish with glazes.

I fired them and the results were funny and cool. The fish are a rainbow of festive colors – just like the beautiful tropical fish at the fish store.  And with just one firing they are ready for the girls to take home and enjoy.
