Paper Weave Fish Craft For Kids
Today we have our fourth Ocean paper weave craft here on The Inspiration Edit. This is a super cute, easy, and fun Angel Fish craft that I am sure you will love. You can download the template at the end of the post if you wish.
The Angelfish got their name due to the shape of their fins. When the fish turns head down the fish appears to have an angel silhouette with it’s angel like wings. Angel Fish can live up to 10 years. Enjoy!
