Today I am so excited to be sharing this DIY Ocean craft. We have a blue whale, a crab and a fish made from wooden eggs.
This is a great art activity for kids in the classroom or preschool setting or as a homeschool activity. If your studying a ocean unit you will love this crafty idea or why not make these eggs as a Summer holiday project. Enjoy!
