Download and print out the stingray template. Cut out and set aside.

Glue the pieces 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 it more life.

Your stingray art is done unless you would like to create a watercolor background. You could also glue this stingray to construction paper to create a different type of stingray art project.

Maybe even let the kids use their imaginations and create their own bespoke backgrounds for their Stingray craft. 

If you want to go ahead with your watercolor background to go with this Stingray craft then download the bubbles and starfish templates and cut out. 

Prepare to add your stingray craft to the watercolor background. 

HOW TO PAINT YOUR WATERCOLOR BACKGROUNDPrepare 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 the 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, starfish, and stingray onto the paper.

These would make wonderful bulletin board crafts. Print the stingray in various colors for a really fun look!
