That's a LOT of Fish!




We're making an undersea scene
 that you
can tweak to use what 
materials are easier for your child. 

For older preschoolers, you can use foam fish that you
put IN the bag of water.
For younger hands, you can substitute 
fish stickers and stick them to the outside of the bag.

You will need a sandwich-size ziplock baggie,
some blue food coloring, 
and some foam fish.


You only need a little water in the bag.



AND, you only need 1 drop of blue food coloring
since there isn't much water.


Then, let your child add in the fish.  
And there should be a lot, 
because Peter caught a lot of fish
when Jesus told him to go fishing!


Once the fish are in, carefully press out 
all the excess air so the bag lies flat.
If your child is younger, you can 
put tape over the seam to prevent
accidents.  

When the bag is flat on a table, you can
let the fish "swim" around, while you
talk about how many fish 
Peter caught when Jesus helped him.
Jesus can do anything!
