[Initially I wanted to do the Fingerprint Fish on p.113 of CSLP manual, but I had a hard time finding washable finger-paint. I considered making finger-paint, but the recipes couldn't guarantee easy clean-up and no staining of little fingers. Ergo, I decided to let the children color a fish and then glue on a few sparkly scales with stick glue. The scales are small squares of a holographic looking gift bag.]
