I added this project at the last minute and am so glad I did.  It really was fun.

We first created a weaving frame by folding a piece of colored paper in half and cutting slits along the folded edge.  Students then chose painted paper strips to weave into the frame.  Weaving was new for most of the students, so this took a little extra time.  Once they were done weaving, we glued their weaving to a white sheet of drawing paper.  They drew a fish body on that and cut it out.  Then they raided my scrap box for pieces of painted paper to make eyes, fins, etc…  They really enjoyed both learning to weave and especially giving their fish character.  Lots of giggles all around. : )
