1.

Who else in your class plays soccer or collects seashells? Make and play this game to find out about interests you share with your classmates.
2.

Create a fishing pond. With Crayola® Scissors, widen the opening of a recycled tissue box. Cover your art area with newspaper. Paint the inside of the box with Crayola Washable Tempera and Paint Brushes so it looks like water. Air-dry the paint.
3.

Cover the box, except for the pond opening, with paper. Attach paper with Crayola School Glue. Air-dry the glue. With a Crayola Gel Marker, color the box to look like grass. Roll out a rope of blue Crayola Model Magic. Glue it around the pond’s edge. Shape Model Magic trees, flowers, vines, and animals that live around ponds. Glue them to your scene.

 Make the fishing bear. Create a Model Magic bear and glue it to box. Color a craft stick (fishing pole) and attach a piece of string to one end of the pole with glue. Press the fishing pole in the bear's paws. On the other end of the string, glue a hook.
5.

Create your fish. Next, you and everyone in the class draws a fish on construction paper with Crayola Erasable Colored Pencils. Write your name on one side of the fish. On the other side, write something about yourself, such as your favor
