Bleeding Tissue Paper

In this project we created fish using a bleeding tissue paper technique.  We began the lesson by reading the book rainbow fish.  As a class, we talked about warm and cool colors.  Each student created two fish, one small and one large.  We were given tissue paper and were told to create unity in the fish with either warm or cool colors.

An extension activity for this lesson could be a science lesson on fish.  This is an early childhood activity so you could talk about the basic parts of the fish and also get some shiny paper that reflects off the fish so it looks shiny and looks like gills.
