Sea Life Paper Craft

Blowfish – Puffers – Bubblefish – Blowies

pufferfish craft

Your kids can have fun making this pufferfish craft, whether they call it a blowfish, puffer, bubblefish, blowie, puffer fish or something else!

Pufferfish are typically found in warm ocean water, which is where I have seen them while snorkeling. 

Their natural shape is a little odd looking, since their eyes bulge and they have a long ‘snout.’

When they sense danger, they quickly puff up to increase their size and scare off predators.

This fish craft is great for kids to make just for fun or as part of a home school lesson. 

If you are planning a visit to an aquarium or a tropical vacation, it is a fun way to learn about this unique sea creature. 

Just download the template, print, cut and assemble. 

Then make a watercolor background, if you’d like. 

Or simply hang your blowfish on a bulletin board or mount on cardstock. 

Have fun!
