Be it a summer project or just a fun activity to celebrate the inhabitants of seas, ponds, lakes and rivers, this easy-to-fold paper fish craft is a fun project to make.
What’s even more fun is that this makes a great group project for the classroom. Just make a giant drawing and ask each child to create (and name) a fish of their own.

Fish are a great subject for all kinds of summer crafts for kids. If you’ve got a fish box at home, they’ll love this – plus print out some of our fun fish coloring pages or even show your children how to draw a fish themselves.
What you need:
Create a background – you can work on a regular sheet of paper (blue) or cut out a circle – create a tank or “outside the submarine” view of your craft.
Cut out seagrass shapes from green paper and glue them onto your background. Cut if necessary.
For the fish, take a square piece of paper and start folding it – creating an accordion fold.
Fold the entire paper back.
Once folded, fold it in half.
Apply glue to stick the ends together or use a stapler.
Cut small triangles for fish tails and glue them onto the background.
Apply glue (school glue or glue gun is best) on the fish’s body and stick it to the background (aligning the body with the tail).
Gently press and hold for a moment to let the glue set.
Do the same with the other fish.
Add googly eyes.
You can also draw bubbles.
That’s it, your origami fish dish is complete.
Make as much as you want!
With thousands of crafts, activities, worksheets, coloring pages, and drawing guides to print, you’ll always have the resources you need at hand. Perfect for both parents and teachers!
