With the summer holidays in full effect it’s definitely time to hit the beach! We’re lucky that we live close to a several gorgeous beaches but even when we travel we tend to go hunting for a beach to play on too! When you’re back at home I think it’s nice to do some sea crafts for kids to help remember the good times you had and these seaside in a bottle crafts do the job perfectly. Whether you’re looking for sensory bottles, discovery bottles or just something pretty to remember your day out these gorgeous crafts should do the job perfectly!

Seaside in a Bottle Crafts

This sand in a bottle craft from The Gift of Curiosity would be great fun for kids to make

My son and I made this seaside sensory bottle for my daughter to play with when she was little and it was a huge hit!

This sea discovery bottle from The Imagination Tree is super pretty and I love the fish and crabs in it!

I love the way Little Bins for Little Hand’s bottle mixes the ocean and beach and then separates them again.

This ocean sensory bottle from The Pleasantest Thing is full of sand and looks gorgeous!

Acorns and crayons made a beach in a bottle using fabric seaweed and shells

This fun rainbow fish craft put a smile on my grumpy toddlers face yesterday. After a few days of hot weather she’s been tired and grumpy but when I asked her if she wanted to do some ‘making’ she brightened straight up!

We love sharing crafts for toddlers and as under the sea crafts are pretty popular with preschools and nurseries she’s been doing a lot of sea crafts for kids at nursery recently so this was a nice way to continue at home.

My son has also been reading the Rainbow Fish which this craft fits in really well with! There are ways to adapt this craft easily for different ages and this post does also contain a bit of a precautionary tale which I highly recommend you read before you start crafting!

10 Super Cool Pokemon Crafts

Updated on 18th April 2017 by Kate Williams | 5 Comments

Managed to get your kids to put down the Pokemon Go for five minutes? Did they look decidedly unimpressed by that?! We’ve all had similar, my kids have a mild addiction to unboxing videos on youtube that as a crafts blogger I’m never sure if I’m supposed to admit to (we’re totally not screen free here!) I thought I’d share some cool Pokemon crafts with you because I’m a great believer that using what kids are actually interested in is the best way to get them to do something else – it’s why we have a lot of superhero crafts and activities on here! So if you fancy a break from running around, settle down, put the kettle on and get your kids started with these cool Pokemon crafts.
