Press a flat white patch under the belly, all the way up under the snout.
Make a small blue triangle and press it on top as a dorsal fin.
Press two small flat fins onto the sides.
Make a tail fin from two small, flat blue teardrops.
Press the tail fin on at the back.
Press a black eye and a pink cheek on each side. Done!
Tip
Bend the body a little and it will look like it’s jumping.
