Paper Plate Oyster Craft


Paper Plate Oyster - Summer Kid Craft

Oyster Paper Plate Pearl Craft Idea

Today’s latest & greatest beach themed paper plate oyster kid craft tutorial is perfect to make with the kids, over summer break!

For this under the sea art project idea, we used a simple, large paper plate, some craft paint and then large styrofoam ball for the pretend pearl element instead. Really easy materials that you can find pretty much anywhere so I really hope you are encouraged to make it as well!
