What you need

  1. An extra large poster board (thick card works too)

  4. Glue and spreaders

Intro

Got a grey wall somewhere that needs jazzing up? Then this fun art activity is just the antidote. The idea is to make fish out of foil so you create a beautiful piece of wall art – over one or more sessions. And the closer to the window you place it, the more lovely it looks as the sun glints off it. We recommend doing this as a group activity, but it works just as well one-on-one. 

The Activity

  1. Draw some outlines of various fish onto the board (you can do it yourself or with your artists)
  2. Take the foiled paper and tear it into 1-2 cm squared pieces
  3. Decorate each part of the fish in a different combination of colours
  4. Glue each piece of foil one by one, layering it slightly each time
  5. Continue on over a few sessions until the fish is complete
  6. Display somewhere so that is can be enjoyed and admired by all who pass by this
