Sea Life Paper Craft
Seahorse
When you aren’t on vacation, but still want some under the sea fun, your kids can make this printable paper seahorse craft.
Tiny seahorses live in warm salt water, but they can be hard to find.
It is a rare treat to discover one when you are snorkeling, diving or exploring tide pools.
When I visit aquariums, I always make sure to visit the seahorse tanks.
They look like a miniature sea monster, but move oh so gracefully.
There is a lot of room for creativity with this craft project, so kids can express themselves as they put their ocean scene together.
Choose realistic neutral colored paper or go wild with bright color combinations that would not be found in the sea.
Make one or make a huge family of seahorses.
Anything goes with this cute craft!
