On holiday Verity made a very pink octopus from a paper chain craft kit, and a little fleet of foam sailboats. Here are our favourite ocean crafts, most using stuff from the recycling.
Paint a paper plate, cut it in half and stick on eight paper strip legs (curl them round a pencil). Googly eyes are compulsory.
Paint a cardboard tube, snip the bottom half into strips for tentacles, and hang it from string.
Paint bubble wrap green and press it onto paper for a shell pattern, then cut out a turtle shape.
Foam sheets, a straw for a mast and a triangle sail. Add stickers for flags.
