Under the Sea is a popular theme for kids, whether you are planning for an afterschool program, craft event, birthday party, summer camp, or recreational program. We’ve shared our favorite themed crafts and activities, with fun sea characters so kids can have an under the sea adventure. You can even make these themed for the movie Finding Nemo or Finding Dory.
Color-Me™ Fabric Sea Life Creatures
These super cute sea creatures come in a 12 pack, with 4 each of an octopus, crab, and turtle. Kids can color their own sea pals with fabric markers! Great for an Under the Sea themed party.
Make a 3D fishbowl! Children can learn about different fish and sea creatures while decorating their fishbowl. Fluorescent paint looks really cool on the fish, and you can use oil pastels for the bowl. This is a great craft for all ages, and comes in a pack of 36.
These beautiful underwater scenes come as a 12 pack, with 3 of each design. Use glass stain to bring out the colorful sea life and backgrounds. Then hang them up to admire! Our favorite is the clownfish, like Marlin and Nemo in the movie Finding Dory. There are also sea turtles like Crush and Squirt!
What better place for kids to save up money than in a fish bank? Our Ceramic Fish Bank Craft Kit (left fish) comes with all of the materials you need, including paint and brushes. The silly looking fish on the right is from our Color-Me™ line. These fish come unglazed so they can be decorated with paint, markers, crayons and more. Have kids create a fish like Dory with blue, yellow and black!
These wooden fish magnets can be colored with Color Splash!® markers or acrylic paint. Kids can easily color in the lines to make bright tropical magnets. Add wiggly eyes and put them on your refrigerator!
Fuse Beads
Our new sea themed plastic pegboards make a perfect activity for you Under the Sea theme! Create a design and place under the pegboard, then simply add fuse beads to the pegs by following the pattern. The pack of 24 includes 8 each of a dolphin, fish, and turtle boards. These boads are reusable so you can use them for your program each year! Use these fuse beads that come in a convenient and portable bucket!
Kids can use fabric markers (included) to decorate their own velvet sea life tote. Then add fun sequins and glitter glue to make it stand out! The little fish look like Nemo, and the starfish are like the one Dory meets in the fish tank in Finding Dory.
Deep Blue Sea Coloring Place Mats
These place mat sets feature bold lines and large coloring spaces so kids can color them easily with crayons (included), markers or coloring pencils. They also come with a cute sea poem printed on the outside. Color each fish with your favorite colors.
Under the Sea Turtle Puzzle
See the ocean in a whole new light with our Under the Sea puzzle! Kids will love the colorful coral and various fish. Can they spot and identify which types of sea creatures are in the picture?
Make fun bracelets using our sea life beads. The beads are plastic and big, so they are easy to string.
We love this pack of sequin pictures! The pack comes with an octopus, dolphin, and a fish. This is a simple craft activity for young kids – just add self-sticking foam circles on the marked areas, add sequins and gems, then pull out the back holder to make it stand up. Above are photos from Burns Latino Studies Academy using the craft pack to learn about animals that live in the ocean.
