Summer is upon us and it’s time to keep those little hands busy! I’m excited to share a fun craft from my Little Fisherman Party! These little Handprint Fish Puppets are so fun to make with the kids. They were super easy and took less than 10 minutes from start to finish!

Have your child assemble the fish. Each piece comes with a strip of adhesive, simply remove the paper backing to assemble. Adhere the hand with the fingers facing the tail on top of the large fish body piece then layer the tail on top of the end of the fish body. Add the little fin on top of the hand by the fingers. Place the large oval on top of the fin. Layer the eyeball on top of the oval piece. Add the fish lips at the base of the hand.

Lastly, adhere the popsicle stick to the back of the fish. Two colors are included in the package, however both are assembled the same way. Looking for more Little Fisherman party ideas?
