Hi friends! Have you ever walked into a craft store and instantly spotted something that inspired you? Story of your life, right? {Well – that’s the story of my life!}

On a recent trip to my local Michaels, I found these adorable felt sea creature stickers near the front of the store and it instantly inspired today’s ocean themed kid craft post.

So if you needing a last minute craft idea to keep the kids busy when your days aren’t so jammed packed for the summer – look no further because today’s Paper Plate Under The Sea – Kid Craft is super simple, inexpensive AND completely customizable too! The older kids will enjoy it and the younger kids will LOVE it! No real rules – just simple fun!

Happy crafting my friends!!! #gluedtomycrafts

Paper Plate Under The Sea Craft Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate
* Blue Craft Paint
* Paint Brush
* Tan Tissue Paper
* Scissors
* School Glue
* Under The Sea Stickers {think fish, seashells, mermaids etc}

Directions:

* First have children paint their paper plate completely blue. Set aside.
* Grab a small amount of tan tissue paper and cut it into small squares.
* Cover half of the paper plate with glue. Have children lay the tan tissue paper on top, until the glue is completely covered. This is the “sand” of the ocean.
* To finish off the Under The Sea craft, simply have children add their sea creature stickers all over, on top of the paper plate/tissue paper. Then set it all aside to let it dry completely. Then display proudly!
