Football fish fun!

My brother plays flag football on Saturdays. He read about paper footballs in the comic Fox Trot and and looked up how to make them. We made lots of these on Saturday. I got the idea to make a paper football fish after looking at the footballs. Here are the directions I use:

1. Get a sheat of paper and fold and cut it in half lengthwise.



2. Fold the paper you just cut in half and start folding to the left in little triangles six times.



3. Fold the part that is left into an arrowhead shape and slip it in the pocket of the triangle. Make three footballs.


4. Draw an eye on both sides of one triangle

5. Draw scales on two of the triangles with a nice color.

6. Use black, and the color you used for scales, to draw lines on the leftover triangle on both sides for the tail.



7. Tape the triangle with eyes to the other one with scales.




8. Tape the tail point to point with the body.




9. Do the same thing for two fins but smaller, tape one on each side.

10. There is your fish.
