When we were getting ready to move at the end of last year, we found a lot of things that we needed to get rid of. But…being the craft-minded, out-of-the box thinkers that we are (aka craft supply hoarders), it was really hard to throw things away, because everything can be used to make something, right?! And that’s how the Easy Disc Fish Crafts for kids was born.
Fish Crafts for Preschoolers
This quick kids’ craft uses those old CDs and DVDs that you probably have around in a box somewhere, some acrylic paint, beads, glitter glue, and some paper for the fish fins.

It’s great for preschoolers (especially if you’re reading Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister), but can also be used to decorate a classroom with an under the sea theme!
Imagine how fun and sparkly they’d be hanging from the ceiling!
While you don’t need to use the printable fish fin template, it’s also linked below in case you need it. Happy fishing craft fun, friends!
Crafts for Kids: Fish Crafts for Preschoolers
Ages: 3+ (with adult supervision)
Time: 30 minutes
Materials Needed:
- CD/DVD Disc

- Glitter Glue
- Paper for Fish Fins (if not using the pattern)
Directions:
- Paint your Disc in your color of choice. Let dry.

- Glue beads/gems on the disc to decorate.

OPTIONAL: Add a magnet to the back to make it into a refrigerator magnet!
