Under the Sea Crafts for Kids to Make

Under the Sea crafts are a fun theme for these hot summer days. This is a round-up of 21 sea-themed crafts for your little ones to make. My daughter wants to be an Oceanographer when she grows up. So I hope these crafts will encourage her to want to learn more about the sea.

A fun idea to do with your kids before or after making these mermaid crafts is to have a family movie night. You could either watch the Little Mermaid (my favorite) or Finding Nemo.
