Letter X Craft: X-Ray Fish Craft
The X-ray fish is a fish that has a visible skeleton, that looks like it is under permanent X-ray scrutiny. This fish is a fun mascot for the letter X craft. When you’re learning the letter X during letter X week, make this fun craftivity at the same time! It requires few supplies and it is so easy to make, but kids will be charmed by how they can reveal the fish’s skeleton.
Before I share the materials and methods on how to make the X-Ray Fish craft, here are some books I would like to suggest:

Letter X Craft: X-Ray Fish Craft for Kids
What you will need to make the X is for X-ray fish craft for each child:
• 1 clear plastic cup
• 1 solid plastic cup
• 1 white foam cup
• Permanent markers
• Scissors
X is for X-Ray Fish Craft Directions
-
- Cut a hole into the solid plastic cup making a rectangle that looks like an old X-ray machine.
- Stack the plastic cup inside the solid cup and draw a fish in the window. On the other side of the cup,
draw the skeleton of a fish, to look like an X-ray fish. If you draw inside the box, it will be easier to
make the fish look the same size. Point the fish’s face in the same direction on each drawings for a
more realistic look. - Place the two plastic cups on top of the Styrofoam cup. The white cup will keep the other side of the
fish from being visible. - Rotate the clear plastic cup to reveal the solid fish and the X-ray fish.
- Cut a hole into the solid plastic cup making a rectangle that looks like an old X-ray machine.
Kids can decorate the outside of the cup to look like the ocean, or you can keep it simple and just let
them play with the cups!
Kids will love playing with this craft in class or at home. Parents will love how much fun the craft is to
play with once X week is oven.
