Advert. With the summer holidays here I’m really excited to be able to share this post with you as it contains not one but two great ways to keep the kids busy – this cute sea paper plate craft and details of how you can take the kids to Sea Life for free with Crayola! Like most parents I love having the long summer holidays with my kids but I also know that I need to plan some kind of activities in to keep us all happy. With this fun craft and a great day out you’re one step closer to making sure your summer holiday is the best one ever.

This easy turtle craft for kids is perfect as a simple summer craft or if you’re looking at under the sea crafts for kids. Using paper plates make it a cheap option to do with a group or of course you can make it at home and just be happy that you didn’t need to but 265 new things just to make one craft (we’ve all been there at one point right? My kids love Pinterest but my bank balance? Not always so much…) I’ve used cotton wool for this craft as a nice alternative to a paint brush that can help encourage your child’s pincer grasp but you’ll find a couple of alternatives below too if you don’t have any cotton wool balls at home.
Are you ready to make this summer your best ever? No matter what you have planned for this year I know that preparation is always a big thing if you want to keep your kids busy, happy and having fun. All of us want those special memories of the fun we’ve had together with our kids to look back on. I think that crafting together is a great way to share some special time together and summer crafts are a great way to inspire your child to get creative. Whether you’re looking for summer crafts for preschoolers that you can do at home with your child or for some crafts to do with the children in your preschool there should be lots of fun inspiration here to keep you going through out the season….
Summer is definitely the time for beach crafts and this easy paper plate version is super simple for kids to make. It’s also one that’s good for allowing a bit of imagination – I’ve added a bucket and spade but what would your kids add? Maybe a picture of them on the beach, a seagull or a kite?
