Blow up your balloon so that it has just enough air to hold it’s shape.  You can also opt to make it larger if you want a bigger fish.

If your fish is happy, add some eyes and a smile.  Otherwise, feel free to add any expression you like. 

STEP 3: Watch it float!

(Optionally) Add it into a small tub of water and watch it float OR make a few more to create a school of fish 🙂
