🌈 Substitutions and Variations
- Alternative Snacks: Use pretzel sticks or cheese crackers in place of goldfish for a different texture.

- Fin Materials: Instead of foam sheets, try using felt or construction paper to create the fish fins.
🔪How To Make This Fish Craft
First cut the pipe cleaners in half and shape each one into a fish hook. Hot glue each one onto a clothespin.
Separate the goldfish by color, you should have 4 different colored piles.
Take one color of fish and put them into a baggie, push them towards the front side. Take a small amount of the candy and put them into the baggie towards the back corner. Take the small rubber band and tie it around the baggie so the goldfish and candy are separated. The goldfish are the fish body and the candy end is the tail. Repeat this step with the other 3 colors of goldfish.
Wrap the excess baggie top around the rubber band and clip a clothespin over it to hold it. It should look like a little fish with a fish hook on it.
Cut out 8 different color foam pieces for the fins. You’ll need 2 pieces for each fish.
Have one fin be a little larger than the other and glue together to create one multi-color fin. Then hot glue each fin on towards the bottom of the fish.
Place 1 eye at the front end of the fish and draw on a smile with your marker.
Enjoy these fun little snack bags!
