Rainbow Fish Craft

Published by Shreiya | June 14, 2023

Rainbow fish craft has been on our mind ever since we read Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister. Though the inspiration for Rainbow fish craft came from the book, we wanted to make our unique version different from that of the book. 

So, we came up with this fun Rocking Rainbow fish paper craft that is super easy to make and perfect for preschool, kindergarten, and older kids.

We had a tonne of colored paper lying around the house, so we decided to make good use of them to make this fun rainbow fish craft. 

This Rainbow fish paper craft for kids is quite creative and allows children plenty of space to add their creativity to the craft.
