3. Easy DIY Seashell Crafts for Bathroom
Children develop their creativity when they make art and crafts.
Since my children are having so much fun coloring and cutting out this free printable seashell template, we thought it would be fun to transform our plain-looking bathroom to a summer vibe masterpiece.
We gathered all the seashells we collected at the seashore.
We glue these different varieties of seashells to the mirror’s frame.
My children painted the seashells with pastel colors.
We also decided to make DIY seashell wind chimes with the use of strings and a sturdy stick.
Attached the seashells onto the strings at least three inches away from each other.
Tie each string with seashells on the stick, then the other strings on each end of the stick so you can hang it wherever you want.

Let’s get our kids grooving by singing and dancing the popular pearly shells song.
Watch some easy dancing steps on the internet or you can just let your little one move around and sway like a Hawaiian dancer.
This famous song is really catchy, your kids will definitely memorize it in no time.
