One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish by Dr. Seuss

Then, draw a similar line on the opposite side and join together at the tail.

Standing: Draw a curved line over the top of the eyes and move the line all the way down the paper and curve up like a letter “J”. I do a directed line drawing for both.ĭraw two dots for eyes for standing fish or one dot for swimmingĪdd a circle around the eye(s) and add eyelashes if you wish I point out the different fish illustrations in the first few pages of the book One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, then on the white board, I draw two styles of fish: one swimming across the paper (horizontal) and one standing up (vertical). Starting at the far left (if they chose a swimming fish) or near the top (standing fish) gives the children plenty of space to draw the body. Here’s my thinking: The children can’t erase the oil pastels, so you want to make certain they leave ample room to draw the body or else the fish might be small. I like to have the kids point to where the eye should go and then when they get a thumbs-up from me, they are free to draw a black dot. The younger the student, the more time you’ll need demonstrating eye placement.

Inspired by my favorite “One Fish Two Fish”, this lesson is perfect for any lower elementary grade including Kinders. Seuss Day art project for your little ones. Seuss’s wisdom in One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish is simple: when facing life’s most challenging conundrums, break them down to the elemental and do so with a healthy dose of fun and fantasy.Here is a great Dr. Seuss, it always keeps us laughing as we encounter the many twists and turns in life.ĭr. He always believed that “Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope.” This indispensable life skill allows us to see what is essential, no matter how big the idea or task. Seuss often used “nonsense” as a means to engage with life’s broad range of situations and as a way to break down monumental ideas into simple, digestible truths.
