When I was younger (and even now) I loved to collect shells on the beach when my family went on vacation. When we got home, though, we had a ton of shells with no real purpose. Instead of storing them or throwing them away, try making these amazing craft projects!

1. Shell Sea Creatures by Kleas

Kleas used various shells, red paint, pipe cleaners, and red yarn to make these adorable crabs! These would be perfect in a beach themed room or at a beach themed party. If you homeschool, you could also use this craft project to introduce a lesson on sea creatures!
