Paper Plate Under The Sea – Craft Idea For Summer

Paper Plate Under The Sea - Kid Craft Idea For Summer

Under The Sea Paper Plate Craft Idea For Kids

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 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!!! Don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s finished paper plate ocean scene with us on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram to see! I can’t wait to see what crafty spin they give their art project! #gluedtomycrafts

Paper Plate Under The Sea - Kid Craft Idea For Summer

Craft Supplies:

  • Blue Craft Paint
  • Foam Paint Brush
  • Tan Tissue Paper
  • Kid Friendly Craft Scissors
  • School Glue
  • Under The Sea Stickers {think fish, seashells, mermaids etc.}

Directions:

  • 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.

  • Then set it all aside to let it dry completely before displaying it proudly for all to see!
