Making a tapestry of sea creatures

Let’s make a summery “Sea Creatures Tapestry.” We’ll create three creatures: a fish, a jellyfish, and an octopus.

For the fish, put crumpled tissue paper into a clear plastic bag, tie it with a pipe cleaner, then secure the corners with tape.

For the jellyfish, stuff a clear plastic bag with tissue paper, shape it into a round form with tape, and attach shredded curling ribbon to make the tentacles.

Make the octopus the same way: put tissue paper in a bag and tie it with a pipe cleaner.

For the base, thread a string through a straw, wrap the straw with curling ribbon, and then attach the creatures to complete the tapestry.

Shining Fish Made from Aluminum Foil

Why not make a glittering fish with aluminum foil? First, cut construction paper to the size of the fish’s body, and cut drawing paper into the shape of a fish with a tail.

Snip notches around the construction paper, then hook and wrap twine around it.

Next, cover it with aluminum foil and secure it on the back.

Gently press so the shapes stand out through the foil.

Color between the raised twine lines with permanent markers in any colors you like.

Finally, glue it onto the drawing paper—and you’re done! You’ll have a shiny fish that sparkles in all sorts of colors.

Speaking of popular creatures at aquariums, whale sharks are a top favorite! Watching them glide leisurely in a huge tank really gives you a sense of the ocean’s vastness.

Let’s make a whale shark while having fun with stickers.

First, create the whale shark’s parts out of construction paper and glue them together.

Color the mouth area white, draw the face, then add patterns by sticking on white round stickers.

Aluminum foil blot painting creation

Sea creatures crafts: Perfect for summer wall displays in daycare, too! (For 4- and 5-year-olds)

Let’s make a summer-themed ocean art piece using aluminum foil and bleeding colors.

First, draw a picture on white construction paper.

Fish, jellyfish, and other kid-friendly motifs are perfect.

Next, color a sheet of spread-out aluminum foil with water-based markers.

Using a variety of colors will make the result look beautiful.

Spray water onto the foil with a mist bottle, then press your drawing paper onto it and press down firmly with your hands.

Once the marker colors have transferred, let it dry—and you’re done! You’ll get a creation with softly blended, delicate colors.

Sea creatures made with bubble wrap

Let’s have fun creating an ocean scene using bubble wrap as cushioning material.

First, cut the bubble wrap into circles and stick them onto construction paper.

Be sure to leave some gaps between them.

Once you’ve painted the bubble wrap with colors, imagine them as octopuses, turtles, or fish, and use paint to add legs or heads around the bubble wrap.

Finally, stick on googly-eye stickers to finish.

It’s also cute and recommended to draw seaweed in the empty spaces or use holographic round stickers to represent bubbles in the water.

Let’s paint the ocean with PET bottle stamps

Let’s have fun creating an ocean scene using a plastic bottle cap stamp that even young children can enjoy easily.

The materials are super simple! All you need is construction paper, a plastic bottle cap, paint, and a paper plate.

Squeeze your favorite paint colors onto the paper plate, dab the plastic bottle cap in the paint, and then stamp it onto the construction paper—that’s it! Using two or three colors like blue and light blue makes it look beautiful.

Finally, attach shell and fish shapes made from construction paper that you prepared in advance to complete the artwork.

It’s also lovely to add motifs you folded yourself with origami.

Give it a try for inspiration!

Sea creatures made with simple paper plates

Let’s make a cute seagull sailor using a paper plate.

It’s super easy! Fold the paper plate in half and position it with the curve facing downward.

Glue on a face, wings, a hat, and other parts made from construction paper, then draw the face and body with crayons to finish.

If you use a blue crayon to draw the sailor’s outfit details, it’ll look even more refreshing and summery.

The gentle rocking motion is adorable.

Be sure to craft and play while singing the song “Kamome no Suihei-san” together!
