Bubble Wrap & Paper Starfish Craft

This bubble wrap & paper starfish craft idea is a wonderful indoor summer project for kids to recreate today.

I’ve even included a free star shaped printable template to get you started within a matter of minutes!

Bubble Wrap & Paper Starfish - Summer Kid Craft

Bubble Wrap Stamped Starfish Craft

Today I’m sharing how we recently made these awesome paper starfishes come to life on our kitchen table.

My favorite part of this starfish craft is the bubble wrap “sand” element we added to the paper background. No need to head to the beach and get covered in sand for this one {which is another favorite part of mine LOL!}

If you would like to recreate this sandy art project with your child, you can find all the details below. Then grab the free provided file, a few pieces of paper and bring it to life with craft paint, crayons and glue! Super easy and no excuses!

I’ll stop talking now and let you get to crafting your own beachy starfish craft scenes today!

Please don’t forget to share pictures of your creations. You can find us on Facebook or tag us on Instagram. Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts

Bubble Wrap & Paper Starfish - Summer Kid Craft Bubble Wrap & Paper Starfish - Summer Kid Craft Bubble Wrap & Paper Starfish - Summer Kid Craft

Crafting with the kiddos is one of my favorite things to do! This bubble wrap and paper starfish craft is so much fun and easy to make.

Craft Supplies:

  • Free Blank Starfish Printable {grab it on box.com}
  • White Cardstock Paper
  • Color Printer
  • Crayons, Pencils, Markers etc.
  • Small Wiggle Eye Stickers
  • Kid Friendly Paper Craft Scissors
  • Blue Cardstock Paper
  • Brown Craft Paint
  • Small Paper Plate
  • Small Piece of Bubble Wrap
  • Loose Gold Craft Glitter
  • Glue Stick or Tape Runner Adhesive
  • optional materials – Ocean Themed Stickers

Directions:

  • First things first – download our free starfish printable, listed above in the supply list.
  • Next, go ahead and find it on your computer, right click and print the file on a single sheet of white cardstock. One print equals one starfish craft. Print as many as you like but only use our file for personal use only please.
  • Now that you have the starfish paper cutout printable, go ahead and color in the star design, however you like.
  • At this point in time you can add on a face with the wiggle eyes!
  • When done coloring in the piece, use your craft scissors to trim it out.
  • Now grab a single sheet of blue colored paper and your paint supplies.
  • Use the bubble wrap to make sand “prints” all over the blue paper. Simply squirt some brown paint on the paper plate and dip the bubble wrap in it.
  • While the paint is still wet, sprinkle some loose gold glitter on top for added sparkle.
  • When you are done with the bubble wrap step, discard the painting supplies and set aside your painted piece to allow it to dry a bit.
  • When ready – adhere the decorated starfish piece to the center of the painted blue cardstock.
  • Then display your custom one-of-a-kind paper starfish art piece proudly for all to see!

Customize It:

  • Instead of printing the free starfish file I’ve provided above on a simple sheet of white cardstock, swap it out for colored paper instead and take out the “coloring in” step listed above.
  • Don’t feel limited by my choice of colors that I used as an example in this tutorial. I went with more shades of orange and pink but who says you can’t have a rainbow colored starfish?!
  • Don’t have a printer at home? No worries my friends! Just hand-draw and cut out your own star shape out of white paper. Then follow the same steps above.
