Step 5: Wrap two sections with plastic and keep them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Step 6: Once the dough chilled, take them out from refrigerator and roll out the two portions. Before you start cutting the rolled dough with shapes, you need to preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Now the cutting fun part begins. Do it with your little-ones. It will take more time but will worth once you are done.

Step 7: Using a chopstick you can easily make fish eyeball and use a small spoon to make its curvy lip.

Remove the crackers from the baking sheets and set aside to cool. Serve immediately, or store in an air tight container.
