Red and blue craft paper, foam, or felt
Colorful paper straws (any color will do, we chose blue)

Directions:

1. Begin by cutting four fish out of your red and blue paper. You will need two of each, so two blue and two red.

2. Glue the googly eyes to each fish. Just a dab of glue will do the trick.

3. Add a dab of glue to the back of the fish (the side without a googly eye) and press it to your straw. Hold it in place until it is secure.

4. Fill the flower pot or jar with crumpled up tissue paper. This will make it look like water! Tear the paper into smaller portions if you have to, crumple, then stuff.

5. Insert the fish into the tissue paper. Press it down so it stays securely in place.

6. Continue adding the fish until you have two red, and two blue in the pot.

Your One Fish Two Fish centerpiece is now ready to be displayed. Set it on a piece of colorful scrap paper and you are now ready to party!

    Well – You have such great patience in laying this all out and sharing the steps – and I could not wrap my mind around Dr. Seuss as a kid – so I didn’t really share it much with my son 🙁 But, loved your post!
