Shell Suncatcher Craft

by Leave a Comment

This shell suncatcher craft is perfect for summer and with some help can be made by even young children (my kids started making suncatchers when they were toddlers). Shell crafts are always popular (after all who doesn’t love a pretty shell?) and you can make this craft using our free shell template too.

We’ve made lots of suncatchers using cellophane but I think this might be our first tissue paper suncatcher. Both materials are fine to use and as you’ll see this can also be a good craft for using up any scraps of crafting materials that you have.

Butterfly Nature Craft

by 2 Comments

Looking for a simple but sweet nature craft to do with your child? My daughter and I had so much fun last week making these sweet butterfly nature craft! It was a great excuse for us to spend some time together out in the garden looking at all the plants and deciding which were our favourites.

We both made a butterfly craft and it was a really nice activity to spend some time together. Using things we found in our garden and our free butterfly template also mean that that was a really cheap activity too.

Beehive Template

This beehive template is the perfect accompaniment to our bee template but of course you can just use it on it’s own as well. If you are working in a classroom or preschool the decorated pages would also be great cut out and used as part of a wall display, there’s so many different themes you could use it for!

You can get this printable PDF at the bottom of this page by subscribing to the free Crafts on Sea newsletter.

How To Decorate Your Beehive Printable

Our template has a simple outline to make it easier for you to decorate. I find that looking through our craft supplies normally helps spark the imagination of my kids when they’re looking to decorate something but if you need some inspiration to get started why not try one of these?

Colouring: The easiest way to get started and always a favourite! Grab yellows and browns to colour or paint your beehive.

Torn paper: We love this effect for an alternative to traditional colouring. Look for scrap paper or junk mail and tear out shapes that you can then glue onto your template.

Sponge or pom pom painting: Create a textured effect on the body of your beehive by dipping a sponge or pom pom into some paint before dabbing it onto your PDF.
