Sea Life Paper Craft

Pelican

feature printable pelican craft for kids

Your child can take an imaginary vacation to the seashore, when you help them cut and assemble this printable pelican paper craft. 

The template and instructions are free, of course. 

This pelican is sweet and cute, but the ones I see at the seashore are often aggressive and loud. 

Even though I see them often, I am still amazed at their strength and size. 

Pelicans can have a wingspan up to 12 feet wide!

First, you’ll need to download my free template. 

Then, this beautiful bird is ready to print, cut and assemble. 

If you have a preschooler, you will want to help them cut out the pieces and get them positioned correctly. 

If your child is older, they may be able to complete this seabird craft on their own. 

Make a blue watercolor background, so that you can mount the craft and put it on display. 

Or, you can skip that step, if you’d like to. 

Enjoy!
