This simple lighthouse template is perfect for coloring or creating some easy art and crafts projects with your child and it’s totally free to download.
Whether you’re looking at a beach or summer topic, letter L crafts, you’ve been inspired by your local area or stories about lighthouses and adventures this is a great design to grab and there are three different designs for you to choose from.
Lighthouses remind me of adventures, of stormy skies and light in the darkness. They’re a great starting point for stories and I’ve even seen some that you can stay in overnight as a holiday let – what a fun idea!
If you’ve been looking at beach or summer topics with your child they can also be a great option, use these alongside some of our other free printable templates and I think they’d be great for a bulletin board display too!
No matter why you want to make some lighthouse crafts we’ve got some ideas and inspiration to share with you as well as details of other seaside and beach themed crafts that you might enjoy too.
Coloring is always both an easy and popular choice for a simple activity and these printables make great lighthouse coloring pages.
All you need to do is print out the design that you like the most and grab your crayons, colored markers or coloring pencils and you’re ready to get started.
Will you go for traditional red and white or blue and white stripes or choose pinks and purples, a rainbow design or add a bit of glitter?!
Using stickers is a great way to support your child’s fine motor skills and if your kids are anything like mine then they’ll love using stickers too!
There are two different ways that you could use stickers to decorate your lighthouse craft.
You could use plain spot or square stickers to fill in the stripes of the lighthouse itself or you could use ocean or beach themed stickers to decorate the background.
You could add the sun, clouds and some birds to the sky or why not have a whale or dolphin jumping out of the sea.
Kids can cut shapes out of colored scrap paper to glue onto their lighthouse to create a mosaic effect.
If you are making this craft with young children such as preschoolers or toddlers then you can do then cutting for them and they can place (or sprinkle) the cut paper onto the design.
Making paper mosaics is a great excuse for talking with your child about the different colors and shapes that you are using too.
You can easily use this PDF design to make a lighthouse paper plate craft.
All you need to do is grab your paints or markers and then design a seaside scene on your paper plate, then color in your lighthouse, cut it out using scissors and glue it onto your paper plate.
The design of the lighthouse means it will be bigger than the paper plate but personally I really like the effect that this has, as if it’s towering over your design.
We have loads of seaside and beach crafts for kids that would be perfect for creating alongside decorating your lighthouse template.
This paper plate beach craft is really easy to make and you can adapt it to add in any beach items you like.

This printable bee template is perfect for some easy to set up quick crafting with your kids!
This cute PDF is free to download and I’ll be sharing some ideas for how you can use it with your child as well.
For me bees are a reminder that summer is on it’s way. When I was a kid I used to be scared of them but now I’m older and understand more about the essential role they play for our planet I’m much happier to have them around.
Bees are a great topic for kids and they also fit in well with spring and summer topics for kids as well as the environment or learning about animals in general.
