First, encourage your child to create the fish by gluing the eye just to the left of the mouth.

Next, take the top fin and glue it to the top and back of the fish.

Now, guide your child to take the side fin and glue it to the front and bottom of the fish, below the gills.

Attach the tail fin to the end and back of the fish’s body and glue it in place.

Help your child position their completed fish on the water background and glue it in place.

Finally, add the bobber between the hook and line of the fishing pole.
