Instructions:
1. Lay down a piece of an old newspaper before you get started.
2. Squirt about a teaspoon sized amount of pink paint onto the center of your paper plate. Spread around evenly until your whole plate is painted pink. Let dry.
3. Cut out three purple heart and one red heart from the craft foam, about 3 to 4 inches high.
4. Cut out two more red hearts, one 1-inch high and one that is 2-inches high.
5. Flip over the paper plate. Carefully glue the points of your two purple hearts on to the right side creating the fish tail.
6. Now glue your largest red heart onto the top-right (still on the backside) of your plate. Glue the medium red heart onto the bottom of the plate creating a fin. Add the smallest red heart onto the left side. This creates the fish lips.
7. Flip the plate over so it is right-side up. Glue the last purple heart onto the center of your paper plate to create the side fin.
8. Finish by gluing a jumbo googly eye on the side with the lips.
