About this printable
An oval plus a triangle already reads as a fish, which is why this how to draw a fish for kids worksheet feels doable on a first try. Add a top fin, a bottom fin, then an eye and a few scale marks. Bubbles in the last panel are optional circles if a child still has energy. Use crayon for water later, but keep the lesson in pencil so lines stay easy to change. Aquarium visits, pet-store windows, or a picture book about ponds all pair well with this page. If the tail looks too small, grow the triangle before adding scales. There is no wrong color for an original fish. Slide the finished drawing into a plastic sleeve so it survives backpack weather on the way to school.
