Flaky fish in a single quick toss

One-cut scissors technique: no need to move the scissors many times or make wobbly, jagged cuts—just one clean snip does the job.

Let’s make a fish with colorful scales using this technique! First, prepare a piece of construction paper cut into the shape of a fish.

Next, take various colors of construction paper cut into thin strips, and snip them once each into roughly 1 cm squares—snip, snip! These will be the fish’s scales.

Apply glue generously to the areas of the fish shape where you want the scales.

Sprinkle the small paper pieces over the glued areas to attach the scales.

Brush away any pieces that didn’t stick, then add details like the fish’s eye, and you’re done! One-cut snipping is great practice with scissors, so kids who are currently learning to use scissors should definitely give it a try.
