Puffy Paint Starfish Craft for Kids

Have you ever had the opportunity to explore tide pools with your children? It is such a fascinating experience. Between the beautiful sea anemones, urchins, barnacles, starfish and crabs, it's hard to choose a favorite, but I just adore the vibrant starfish. They are commonly called starfish but their appropriate name now is actually sea stars. Their name was changed since they aren't really a fish but are closely related to sea urchins and sand dollars. After my kids had the experience of seeing them in their natural habitat last week, and because we love ocean themed crafts, we thought it would be fun to remember our experience with a craft. I whipped up some paint and we created this stunning Puffy Paint Starfish Craft for Kids.
