What You Need:

  • Shoes
  • Pencil
  • 9x12 paper or bigger if you wan't to make an aquarium
  • Crayons or Markers

What You Do:

  1. Have students take off one of their shoes and trace the bottom of it.

  2. Then have them create fins, gills, eyes, mouth, and scales for their fish.

  3. When the drawing is complete have them color with markers.

    • *Note: You can have them cut out their fish and glue them on a huge piece of paper, and then have them draw a background. This looks like the fish are swimming in an aquarium.
The kids really get a kick out of taking their shoes off in class, and turning it into art!!!
