Instructions
1. Cut Out the Scales
Cut several half circles from colored paper. Use different colors like pink, purple, and blue.
2. Layer the Scales
Start at the top and glue five half circles in a row. Add four half circles on the next row, then three on the next, and two on the last row. Slightly overlap each piece to create a layered fish scale look.
3. Make the Fin
Draw and cut out a large fin shape from another piece of paper.
4. Attach the Fin
Glue the fin to the back bottom of the tail so it fans out underneath the scales.
