Need 30 minutes of quiet time with a couple of kids--try these!
These were such fun--there were only three little ones doing all of them in the package--but it was 30 minutes of fun and sharing! Four year old wanted more and the five year old wondered why the "underside" was the same on all of them. Had to explain it was up to them to be creative with their designs, but once they got the idea--off they went! Loved them. Also got the Scratch Post Cards and Book Marks.

Preschoolers love these
I used this with a group of 25 preschoolers. They love the activity, but it did create some black mess from the covering they scratched off.

Popular craft
I chose the Magic Color Scratch Fish Ornaments for my K-5 Vacation Bible School craft. We had 15 minutes, because we met in the evening. The fish craft was successful because every age group was able to complete a design.
The fish were enjoyed by the children. A set of directions should be included with all crafts, although this one was fairly self-explanatory. Be sure and use a paper plate under the fish to contain the bits scraped off!

Fantastic! The children participating in the day's activities loved them.
I purchased these for Sgt. Tommy's Kids, a fishing day at a lake near Chicago, IL. Children participate in 3 activities; learning how to cast, fishing, and children's crafts. I brought them as a filler and they turned out to be the most popular craft.

Great Bible Study Project!
Used these "magic fish" with my preschoolers in conjunction with our Bible study lesson on Jesus calling his disciples. Boys who don't usually like to color enjoyed revealing the hidden colors on these fish. We glued magnets on the back and then they tried "catching" the fish with magnets hanging from stick "poles".

Fun activity
The kids at VBS loved showing off their creativity with these magic scratch products. Even the teachers had a good time "designing" their own fish! Great stress reliever!

Great Project- You Can Add a Coin!
I like to have my students glue a penny on the fish's belly area after they are done scratch-drawing. (the sticky adhesive squares or dots work well.) I use this project when teaching the Bible story of when the disciples needed to pay taxes and Jesus told them to catch a fish and a coin was inside the fish.
