Snorkel Diver Kids Summer Printable

Snorkel Diver Kids Summer Printable

Over the years, the seasons have changed. It used to be that kids could be outside playing in the sun, at the playground, and in the pool all summer long. Ticking off the Summer bucket list one activity at a time.

However, now it seems the weather is still cool and wet when school lets out, so we have to find more things to do indoor. One way we have curved the summer boredom is to make fun paper crafts like this fun Snorkel Diver kids Summer Printable.

Instructions for making this Snorkel Diver Craft Printable

Download and print out the snorkeling kid template (found at the bottom of this page). Cut out the template pieces and set aside.

Glue the pieces if your snorkle character together using a glue stick or white school glue. 

Cut small bits of white paper and add to the edges to create “shine” and give your character more life. See the pieces on the fins?

The snorkel template includes both a female and male character and this is a great way to introduce children to summer swimming and spending time in the ocean.

Your snorkel diver is done unless you would like to create a watercolor background. You could also glue this snorkel diver to construction paper or make a classroom or home display, depending on the location you make this craft.

Instructions for Watercolor Background:

Prepare a surface with newspaper or a vinyl tablecloth for easy cleanup.

Set up watercolor paints in shades of blue that you’d like to use. Mix in some green and yellow for even more color.

Coat your paper in water until it’s damp but not soaked. Use a paintbrush for this step.

Add watercolor paint and cover the paper. Mix in some various shades of blue until you’re happy with how it looks.

Sprinkle a few pinches of salt across the wet paint. It’s important that you do this while the paint is wet, otherwise, it will not work. The salt will create the paint to separate and cause an explosive looking effect.

Allow the paper to dry completely. This will take a while since it was so wet.
Once dry, glue the bubbles and snorkel diver onto the paper.

Your fun paper craft is now complete.

If you have older kids that may not be into these kinds of crafts, you can always have them work with the younger kids to do the crafts. Give them the responsibility of teaching and instructing.

Other Crafts To Do This Summer

Crafts are an easy way to entertain the kids while keeping them off the electronics. I don’t know about you, but if I hear one more thing about Fortnite, I might scream. Although some electronic time is fine, kids shouldn’t be on it all the time. In addition to this craft, here are some other craft ideas you can do instead of listening to your kid’s play games on their electronics:
