Easy funky cottage crafts: fish prints
Andrea says: The fish prints were really fun to do—painting the slimy body before it got cut up and eaten was a highlight. If I were to do it again I’d use better quality paper to avoid the buckling that you can see in the images. I also really like that the kids wrote the date and type of fish below it on the paper—reminding us of a summer when we actually caught something.
Cottage Life contributor and Georgian Bay cottager Andrea Curtis sent an email the other day telling us about a few crafts she and her two boys did at the lake this summer.
It’s a perfect cottage activity in my books: You’re commemorating a proud moment (the catching of the fish), you’re interacting with and learning about nature, and you’re creating a really neat (and I’d say, beautiful) keepsake. I’ll share more of her ideas in the next couple of days. Stay tuned!

Liann At my Cottage, me and my sister find flatish round rocks and make rock bugs. We paint the whole rock, then add wings, a head, eyes, mouth and freckles. We also paint shells with flowers and make rock bug families! Maybe this is an idea that you can post! Marissa :)
