Art/Fine Motor: . Fishy Art: . From Mailbox Superbook page 167. Copy fish pattern onto blue construction paper. Cut out the fish and discard it or give it to the children to play with. Set aside the resulting frame. To make a fish painting, a child folds a sheet of construction paper in half and unfolds the paper. He uses a paintbrush to drop several colors of paint onto one half of his paper. He refolds the paper, gently presses the sides together, and unfolds the paper. When the paint is dry, help him glue the prepared frame over his paper.

Five little fishies in the sea, teasing Mr. Sharky
You can't catch me! You can't catch me!
Well, along came Mr. Sharky (softly) as quiet as can be;
He snapped a fish up right out of the sea!
(Start with four little fishes and continue rhyming until you get to one little fishie. The last line (instead of He snapped a fish up right out of the sea!) will become Now Mr. Sharky is lonely, can't you see.
