Sea Life Paper Craft
Sea Turtle Activity for Kids
Make this cute sea turtle craft, so that your kids can have fun and learn about this majestic creature who lives in the ocean.
The craft is easy to assemble, when you use my free printable template.
Print the pages, cut out the pieces and glue together.
Your child can paint a watercolor ‘ocean’ to use as a background or the turtle can be mounted to a plain piece of cardstock.
Either way, this sea turtle is adorable!
I’ve seen sea turtles swimming in the ocean and basking in the sun, when I have been in Hawaii.
The turtles are protected, so they, too, can enjoy their island vacations before continuing their journey in the sea.
These aquatic reptiles spend most of their lives in the ocean and can live to be 80 or more years old!
Enjoy this fun under the sea craft!
