Clothespin Mermaid Craft
"Looking for fun summer craft ideas for kids? This clothespin mermaid craft is perfect. They’ll have a blast transforming clothespins into little mermaid friends! You can easily create your own set of mermaids as a family activity at home. It also works as a small group activity in a classroom. They don’t take very long to make and use materials you may already have. I also have a few suggestions for alternate materials if you don’t have everything on hand. Be sure to download the free printable craft template available at the end of this post. Making these would be perfect during an ocean theme week of summer camp at home or to include in an ocean or beach themed art center. Another idea is to use them to decorate a gift bag or give out as cute favors for guests at a mermaid themed birthday party."
