Color Customization and Creativity 🧡⚪

While the template is designed to easily recreate the famous look of a clownfish, there is plenty of room for color creativity.

Clownfish Colors

  • Classic Look: The suggested template colors are orange or red for the body and white for the stripes, mirroring the look of the popular film character.
  • Natural Variation: In nature, clownfish can also be maroon or other colors.
  • Unnatural Fun: You can choose any combination of colors (blue and purple, green and yellow) to create a wholly unique school of fish!

Assembly Simplicity

The template provides the pieces, ensuring the fish has the correct, recognizable shape.

Simply print the template pages on the corresponding colored paper, cut out the fish body, white stripes, and two eyes, and then glue the pieces onto the body.

Display and Decoration Ideas 🌊

Once you’ve made one clownfish, you can easily make an entire “school” and use them in several creative ways.

Display Options

  • Framed Art: Mount the finished clownfish onto another piece of cardstock (perhaps a blue or green shade to mimic water) to give it a framed look for display.
  • Party Decor: Use the finished crafts as decorations for a Finding Nemo or Under The Sea themed birthday party.
  • Classroom Use: Teachers can use the assembled fish on a classroom bulletin board display to teach about ocean life or famous animated characters.
