Rainbow Fish

Your preschoolers will love to have their very own rainbow fish to love and hug as you read the classic tale by Marcus Pfister.  One artsy mama actually sews stuffed fish from fabric having the kids add on glitter glue and jewel sticks, but you could also just use a paper cut out of a fish as well.  If you're unfamiliar with the story, it's about a beautiful, but vain, fish who learns sharing and having friends is better than being the prettiest fish in the sea.

Good for ages 2 and up.
