Flannel Friday: Colour Fish Flannelboard

by rovingfiddlehead on July 8, 2011

Using Lois Ehlert’s Fish Eyes for inspi­ra­tion, I had a lot of fun mak­ing fish to go with The Color Fish Song found at Mrs. Ayers’ KinderThemes Ocean Songs and Fin­ger­plays page.

Color Fish Song
(Tune: I saw three ships)

I saw a fish go swim­ming by, go swim­ming by, go swim­ming by.
I saw a fish go swim­ming by, so early in the morning.

Con­tinue by chang­ing the verse to match the colours on each fish. Such as:

I saw a fish that was red and blue, red and blue, red and blue.
I saw a fish that was red and blue, so early in the morning.
