We never tire of making Handprint Fish! We made some into a totally cute Valentine's Day Craft.
Big Brother learned how to make thumbprint hearts recently, so I had him practice making more with a red ink pad. One tip I told him was that it was like making the letter V. I was bored one night when I couldn't sleep and ended up decorating their fish. They don't mind because they like to see their handprints turned into something 'cool' as my preschoolers puts it. He likes to take inspiration from the stuff I decorate to make his own handprint art - he has an entire stack of traced handprint creations!
Another cute fish saying that could be added: Valentine, You're a great catch!

I wouldn't immediately think fish for Valentine's Day, but these are adorable. I really like the thumbprint hearts too, nice touch.

Lol! When I was making the blog button & header fish, I made a bunch of them with the kids. These ended up being the wrong color green & pink so I have a ton of handprint fish to make into fun artwork now ... he, he! Thanks ladies!
