Ingredients

Instructions

  • Fold a paper plate in half. Using scissors, narrow the edges of the folded plate to form the shape of a shell. Grownups can also draw an outline and ask kids to cut along the lines.
  • Paint the shells. Kids can dab different colors of paint onto their shells or color the shell all one color. Encourage kids to leave the edge of the shell unpainted for the eyes. Allow the paint to dry for a few minutes.
  • Draw several blue eyeballs on the outer edges of the shell. 
  • Glue a cotton ball to the bottom, inside of the shell. This will represent the inner flesh (like the inside of a scallop shell). Now display your paper plate seashell craft!
