Many of us played with puppets and organized puppet theaters in the childhood but this isn’t your typical one, this is an underwater puppet theater! What can be more natural than playing with sea creatures in the middle of summer after going to the beach? Your kids are sure to love the idea and they’ll love the sea even more thanks to that. Let’s begin crafting and if you want more sea-inspired crafts, head over here! Here is one more cool project for little ones – funny paper octopuses craft.

  1. Take a cereal box and glue a sheet of light blue paper to one of its sides using a glue stick. Cut a large rectangle in it

  3. Draw and cut out a sand castle of yellow paper, then glue it inside your box. Also glue inside some seaweed and corals cut out of green, yellow or red paper. Cut out some colorful fishes of paper and glue them inside. Attach a white strip of paper with waves imitating sea foam. Glue the box sides so that it was closed.

  4. Now let’s make some puppets. Number one is a jellyfish. Cut some thin ribbons, take a bottle cap and make a hole in it using an awl, insert blue thread into this hole, then add a drop of hot glue and attach the ribbons to it, this way you’ll secure the thread, too. Glue googly eyes to the cap and voila!
