Unfortunately, I'm not going to the seaside this year... (sob!) But because I still want to see LOTS of sandcastles with these flags in, I'm offering a prize to the most impressive and imaginative sandcastle bearing one of these flags! If you want to have the chance to win an exclusive Joey's Dream Garden brooch, here's what you need to do: This sea shell template is super sweet and would be a great inclusion to beach or ocean themed bulletin boards too. We’ve used this printable before to make a shell suncatcher which is a great way to use up some left over craft materials too. If we are honest I am a little late getting this post up on my blog but seeing as we are having an Indian summer right now, I'll go for it.
It’s perfect for using on your beach trip but likewise you could also use it if you are looking through a book about beaches. Mosaic’s are a great way to practice both scissor skills and fine motor skills as you glue your mosaic pieces onto your template. We’ve shared a lot of free templates and printables to help you have fun with your kids at home or in your classroom or preschool without having to spend a fortune.

Sand castles are typically made by children, simply for the fun of it, but there are also sand sculpture contests for adults that involve large, complex constructions. Every child I have met so far seems to love playing with sand and of course a trip to the beach is even more fun. I recall wonderful times as a child going to the seaside with my family and I have very fond memories of making sandcastles with my Dad. He is a bit of a sandcastle hero really and even now 30 years later he is still enjoying making them but with my kids now. Thank you for reading this instructable, and if you get to the seaside, happy sandcastle-building! :D
With each template you’ll find ideas for crafts and activities you can use it with and you can always print as many copies as you’d like. This palm tree template is one of our newest additions and I absolutely love it, it makes me think of fun, sunny holidays. Here is an easy craftyactivity that I do with the kids each summer. I am not at all a crafting guru and this is super simple and hardly costs a penny, so any regular mum like me can have a go! Rather than the traditional pottery pieces we go for paper mosaics and as well as colored paper you could tray construction paper, tissue paper, corrugated card or even some sandpaper to add a bit of texture.

Once we got to the beach and I made my first sandcastle, I was thrilled to be able to pop the little flags at the tops of the towers, for instant charm. Of course the fun of visiting the beach didnt stop while you were at the beach. Oh no, days later you would still find grains of sand in your bed from the visit, weird that but i’m sure others experienced the beach visit and had the same. Print out your favorite and grab your paints, crayons, coloring pencils or markers to use this as a sandcastle coloring sheet. Mosaic
