How fish live.
Fish are animals that live in water and cannot do without it for a long time. Therefore, the whole organism of fish is well adapted to the conditions of life in water, from the shape of the body to the sense organs.
Most fish are covered with scales that produce a lot of mucus, which allows the fish to slide quickly through the water column.
The fish moves in the water, wagging its tail from side to side, and with the help of its fins, it maintains balance and changes the direction of movement. The fish also have a gas-filled swim bladder - a bag thanks to which they regulate the depth of their swimming.
Fish, like all living things, breathe oxygen. However, if we inhale this gas from the air, then the fish have to extract it from the water. For this, fish have special organs - gills. When a fish swims, it captures water with its mouth and pushes it out through special cracks in the head, in which the gills are located. Oxygen from the water enters the bloodstream in the gills and is carried throughout the body. In adult fish, the gills are hidden under the operculum, but in tadpoles (fish fry), the gills are on the outer sides of the head.
Most fish have an amazing sense organ called the lateral line. With the help of this organ, fish catch the slightest movements in the water: the direction and strength of the current, the approach of underwater objects and animals, the excitement on the surface of the water. Side line serves fish for orientation in space and finding a way. It is thanks to this organ that fish, swimming in a school of many thousands, feel the movements of their neighbors and act in concert, like one organism.

Stages of the craft:
1. For the toy fish, use the following templates.
A circle with a diameter of 7.5 cm - a trunk;
heart shape 3 parts for mouth and tail;
fin scallop shape 1 piece.


2. Carefully cut a circle out of denim with scissors, avoiding flow around the edges.


3. From the colored remains of fabric (fleece) we cut out additional details: hearts and a comb.


4. Assemble the patterns as shown in the photo and fix them with glue. We used stick glue.


5. Cut out small circles with a diameter of about 1 cm from the fleece fabric.
The circles are needed to decorate the toy.


6. Small circles were placed and glued on the torso and tail.


7. Cut out the white and black circles for the eye of the fish.
White circle with a diameter of 2 -2.5 cm, black 7-8 mm.


8. We glue the eye as shown in the photo.


9. To prevent the toy from bending or deforming, glue it to a cardboard base of the same shape as the body of the crucian carp.


10. It will look neater if you add a thin strip corrugated cardboard along the edge of the cut of the cardboard base.


11. Using the same template, changing and supplementing some details, we got a chick like this.
