2. Cut out the outline, and let your little one paint it in yellow.
3. While you’re waiting for the paint to dry, have your child tear the tissue paper into small pieces.
4. Glue the torn tissue around the rim of the plate, on the inside.
5. Next, it’s time to make the decorations! Draw three round and one square submarine windows on the white paper and let your little one colour them.
6. While he’s doing that, you can draw some fish on coloured paper and cut them out.
7. Stick the windows on the submarine, and the fish on the tissue paper to complete this craft!
