Crafts
Children love learning about the different creatures of the ocean.  
Expand their learning by finding more creatures to study.
All Done!
These starfish are a blast to make
and they turn out very colorful and
full of texture.  You could expand
make Starfish crayon rubbings as
well.

Step 1
Give each child a square of
sandpaper, and let them decorate it
with oil pastels.  You don't need to
press very hard because the paper is
pretty gritty.
  • What are some unique features
    of starfish? (location of the
    stomach, the ability to regenerate
    a limb ect...)
  • What do starfish eat?
Step 2
Make sure you use lots of different
colors, and spread them out a bit
over the square.  The more variety
you put into it, the more dazzling
your starfish will be.
Step 3
Cut out a starfish shape from the paper.
 Save the scraps to cut little circles and
other shapes for your creation.
Step 4
Arrange your starfish, and glue it to a
sheet of black construction paper.  Cut
out a wavy shape from your white
paper and glue it on the side.
Use the space to write all about Starfish,
or even a little poem.  We used ours to
think of an adjective for each letter in the
word Starfish.
