- Gather materials: sticky notes, pencil, black marker, and scissors.
- Fold a square sticky note diagonally to form a triangle, then unfold it.
- Fold the top corner down to meet the center crease, creating a smaller triangle at the top.
- Fold the bottom left and right corners up to meet at the center point, forming a fish shape with a tail.
- Use the pencil to lightly sketch an eye and mouth on the fish.
- Trace over the pencil lines with the black marker for definition.
- Carefully cut out the fish shape along the folded edges.
- Repeat the process to create multiple fish.
- Arrange the fish on a surface, overlapping them slightly to form a tessellation pattern.
- Press each fish firmly to adhere it to the surface.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of printable tessellation templates.
