15 Sensational Seashell Crafts for Kids
Planning a trip to the beach, or just dreaming about one? This collection of adorable seashell crafts is sure to be a hit with your kids this summer!
If you’re heading to the beach, be sure to collect as many seashells as possible so you can come home and make these crafts with your kids.
If you’re not heading to the beach, you can purchase shells at your local dollar store. That may not give you as much of a variety as collecting them at the beach, but it’s a nice alternative if you’re not visiting the beach anytime soon.
