Instructions
The sea animal arts and crafts activity has 4 simple steps:
Step 1
Color the different body parts of your sea creature.
To help kids identify which part of their sea animal they are coloring, they can refer to the small colored image of the ocean animal on each page.
Of course, kids can choose whatever colors they wish and do not need to use the same colors shown.
For kids that don’t feel like coloring but would still enjoy doing the paper craft, there is a fully colored version of the page included in the pdf. If using that version, they can skip this step and go straight to step 2.
Step 2
Carefully cut out each individual piece on the dashed lines.
Step 3
Using the colored image of the character as a reference, build the character by moving each piece into its correct spot.
Step 4
Glue the pieces into place on a cardstock or construction paper sheet.
Or kids could draw an underwater background to glue their ocean animal onto.
