Puffy Shell Craft

I know students LOVE puffy stickers (and most likely you do too) so I thought a puffy shell craft would be perfect as a lively addition to a summer or ocean themed bulletin board or interactive classroom display! 


Idea: when creating an ocean themed display with students art projects and craft have some (like these clam shells) in buckets or containers instead of attached to the wall. They can be interactive and used for math, language and play based activities and warm ups. 




To make a puffy shell, your students will just need one page. Run it on colored paper or white and let students watercolor or color with crayons! 


Once colored have them draw a face on, patterns and detail before cutting and gluing. Crumple (great fine motor) the scraps to make it puffy! Take a look how it's done in this little video:


I hope your students love making a shell and are eager to learn more about creatures on and near the ocean! 



If you're not yet in the Pond Coloring Club, I'd love to have you with me!
