Step 1: Let's make a fish! Open one package of model magic and split it in half.
Step2: Color half of your model magic. Place the other half aside for later.
Step 3: Form a triangle. This is going to be the fish body.
Step 4: Now take the unused half of your model magic. Split this in half. Color one of them.
Step 5: Form a second triangle with your model magic and attach it to one side of the body. This is the tail.
Step 6: Let's add details! Divide and color your remaining model magic. This will be the fins and details of the fish body.
Step 7: Add details such as stripes or spots first.
Step 8: Add your fins and a small circle for an eye.
Step 9: Add an eye for your fish to see!
