Ways to Use the Seashell Tracing Pages
Whether you're planning a whole beach-themed unit or just need a calming center activity, there are so many ways to enjoy these pages:- Trace with pencil, marker, or crayon — great for building pencil control and focus
- Paint with soft watercolors for a dreamy ocean vibe
- Use fine markers or gel pens to add texture, dots, or shell details
- Add sand "dots" using brown or gold markers for a fun tactile twist
- Pair with read-alouds about shells or the beach to spark interest and vocabulary
Perfect for All Ages & Stages
What I love most about these pages is how versatile they are. A younger student will feel a real sense of accomplishment just tracing the lines in one color — and that’s a big win for confidence and control.
Older students can turn the same shell into a complete art piece by tracing, doodling patterns, adding creative elements, and then finishing with color. You might be surprised by how beautifully each student’s personality comes through!
