These seashell turtles are super easy to make and you can even turn them into fridge magnets like this crab shell magnet.
If you have a seaside vacation with your kids, I am sure you will come home with a large amount of empty seashells of all kinds that the kids have collected.
Now they are really beautiful, and collecting empty seashells that wash up on the beach is definitely a fun activity for kids but… What to do with all those shells when you get home?
Handmade!
You can turn seashells into great crafts for kids.
This way you will turn the shells into lovely objects that children can play with, give to friends or relatives. It is definitely better than letting them collect dust.
