Suggested Family Activity 🐚 Seashell Crafts
Have you picked up seashells on the beach but don’t know what to do with them now that you are home? You can turn them into ornaments to decorate your home or put on your Christmas tree by painting them and adding glitter and other sparkly bits like sequins. Adults can drill a small hole in them to thread ribbon through to be a hanger. Or you can wear your creations as a necklace by using a longer piece of ribbon or cord. You can also turn a large seashell into a tropical fish by painting it a bright color and then gluing on tiny seashells to be the flippers. Don’t forget to paint on an eye or use a googly eye if you have one. You can also turn various sized seashells into collages by challenging your family to see how they can arrange shells to make pictures. Maybe they will make a sea creature or a flower or a butterfly. You can also turn seashells into a cute summer wreath by gluing them onto a form you have cut out of cardboard. Tie a pretty ribbon around the top and your house will look like the beach!
