Starfish Craft for Kids + Template
We have been making a giant ‘Under the Sea’ themed painting to hang up in the kids bedroom. Here is an easy Starfish Craft that both my 4 year old and 1 year old were able to make using a printable template. I love that it has a 3-D look to it!
How to make this Starfish Craft:
1. Print the starfish template from Danielle’s Place here (scroll down towards the end of the page to where it says Paper Plate Starfish Craft for Kids). There are 2 different shapes!
2. Cut around the outlines and then trace the star shape on to either a paper plate or cardstock.
3. Fold along where the directions call for you to make a crease. This will make your starfish 3-dimensional!
4. Paint in colors of choice.
5. Add any other decorations like sequins, glitter, and so on. I happened to have Barilla Pastina on hand which are teeny star-shaped pasta that I let the kids use to decorate their craft with.
Optional: You could glue the starfish edges to paper or just leave them as is.

Amanda, I love what you did with the starfish paper plate craft. They look great. Can you please state that the patterns come from Danielle’s Place of Crafts and Activities. Also I would love to use a smaller picture of the craft you made and link it to this page of your website.
Hi Carolyn, I updated the link text. Thank you 🙂
I can’t find the pattern with your link.
Luv your ideas, especially the starfish
