Under the Sea Suncatchers (24 Pack)

Under the Sea Suncatchers invite kids to bring octopuses, turtles, starfish, crabs, blowfish, and tropical fish to life with color, then hang their finished sea creatures in a sunny window where the light becomes part of the artwork.

Dive Into a Colorful Underwater Art Adventure

Bring an entire collection of ocean creatures to the craft table with six different aquatic designs kids can decorate in their own colors. From curling octopus tentacles and a patterned turtle shell to tropical fish, a blowfish, starfish, and crab, every shape gives young artists something different to paint.

Each plastic suncatcher measures 4", giving kids a manageable painting surface with outlined sections that can be filled with different colors. They can follow familiar ocean colors or turn their sea creatures into imaginative combinations filled with bright, unexpected shades.

The fun continues after painting is finished. Add string and hang the completed sea creatures in a window so natural light shines through the colored sections, turning the project into a cheerful window decoration kids can enjoy long after craft time.

With 24 suncatchers and four of each design, the assortment gives group leaders plenty of variety while still making distribution simple. They work especially well for schools, after-school programs, summer camps, VBS, Sunday School, recreation programs, ocean units, beach themes, and under-the-sea parties.
