Every time my kids visit the beach they look for Starfish! We love them so I knew my kids would enjoy some Starfish crafts when they get to make some of their own!
Summer days are meant for trips to the beach. We go there at a few times a week and love exploring all their is to offer from rocks, shells, sand, the waves, seaweed, jellyfish and starfish!
Indeed I have a list of cute ocean crafts for kids already but have saved this post for ones dedicated to Starfish.
Kids love starfish mainly because of their beautiful shape! I always ask them if they can find anything else a similar shape and they always say you can find stars in the sky at night!
I have lots of different ideas for Starfish crafts below and many of these are suitable for preschool and older kids!
A list of cute Starfish crafts for kids this Summer! This simple idea is the perfect ocean craft for toddlers and preschoolers! Us Mums of toddlers are always looking for ideas to enjoy them in crafts so that they do not miss out on all the fun their older siblings are having! This one involves dipping a potato masher in orange paint and stamping it down! Mum will have to cut it into a star shape at the end. I would probably add a date to this and put it in my toddler's craft box. My little girl loves salt dough crafts because she loves baking. She loves squashing dough between her fingers! These Starfish look great and they are made unique by adding holes with a pencil or extra bits of dough in top. Of course you shape yours however you wish too. These Starfish are made by adding 5 footprints with orange paint. Perfect idea for little kids who love to paint! I am so glad it is Summer so that we can do this outdoors; it is so much easier to clean up. We just hose the excess paint away! A starfish craft for older kids and a good opportunity to discuss waves and the environment starfish live. This helps you create a beautiful canvas picture to hang on your wall or give as a gift. This craft comes with a printable that helps you create the picture shown here. Little kids will enjoy sticking the buttons down. You could always make these in slightly different colors or add different sized buttons if you wish. This activity help you create a Starfish ornament to proudly display in your home. This craft is suitable for toddlers and preschoolers! Let them stick to fruit loops onto a Starfish shape. The hardest part is to stop them eating the cereal. For 3 and 4 year olds I would test them by asking the color of each fruit loop as they stuck it down! Step by step instructions on how to make this pretty banner for your wall! Perfect for Summer parties. This is a fabulous starfish craft to get kids walking along the beach and gathering things they like, small pebbles, seashells and twigs! Then they get to set it in plaster and have their own keepsake from their fun day at the beach. This is a real girly craft which helps make very beautiful Starfish which sparkle and glisten with the addition of gems and sequins!
