Ocean Theme

Well here we go with some fun.

This summer went by way too quickly but we really had lots of fun creating.

These crafts were from our 'Ocean Theme'.  Very simple but fun to play with as well as create.

Above was a fishy scene we created.  These cute fish are just a strip of paper folded in half and snips made in the tail.  Add the fins and glue onto a blue paper.

The crab is a strip of paper as well.

This cute little boat is created by using some paper folds.  I added a popsicle stick so it became a toy.

The kids did a puppet show with them.

Here is a fun fish we created using a paper plate.  Cut out the mouth and use the leftover piece to make the tail and fins.  We glued some folded circles onto the fish to look like the gills.  

You could add a piece of cardboard to the back as a handle and the kids could make the fish swim.

 Simple jellyfish mobile.

I cut out the heads, added some streamers cut from a white kitchen garbage bag and attached them to a large popsicle stick with string.

This is called the 'Moving Fish' because by cutting the slits in the paper it moves.

Here is the link for the pattern:

This super easy craft was made with a paper plate, simple head and feet cut outs.

Great fine motor activity for the kids as they picked up the dots and stuck them onto the glue dots I had placed on the plate/shell of the crab.

Thanks for coming by and taking a look.
