Make a Washcloth and Soap fish
We went on another short term mission trip this summer (2008) and this was
one of the crafts for vacation Bible School. We try to have one craft that
will help the children's health in some way. This year we decided on the
fish. Below you will find the directions for making a soap and washcloth
fish.
 |
For this project you will need a washcloth, a rubber band, a
piece of ribbon or yarn, a small or travel size bar of soap, and some self-stick
foam. We used travel size Irish Spring for the Mission Trip. Today I
used a small bar of Dove. We put all the parts in a plastic sandwich
bag. This saves you from a lot of confusion passing out individual
parts. |
 |
Put the soap inside the washcloth. Gather all of the corners
together. Put a rubber band around the gathered washcloth. This
makes
the fish tail. |
 |
From self-stick foam cut fins (or use already cut hearts). Cut
eyes. Punch black eyeballs out of foam with a 1/4 in. paper punch.
If you are cutting eyes and mouth ahead, like we did for the mission
trip, I would suggest taking the back off the self-stick foam and
attaching the foam pieces to a piece of wax paper (notice the first picture).
That way they don't get lost or misplaced before you are ready to
use them. Glue or stick the eyeballs on the eyes. I have stayed away from
plastic goo-goo eyes for safety reasons. Cut out and stick on a
mouth. |
 |
Put eyes on fish. Add fins also. Now tie a pretty ribbon
or a piece of yarn over the rubber band. You now have a pretty fish
to use for decoration, a gift, or you can wash with it. |
