Sunshine Kids Craft Corner- Christmas in July Seashell Angels Christmas Ornaments

Tweet We are so excited about this months Kids Craft Idea! It's straight from the Sea. Our family had the pleasure of a wonderful Mini Family Reunion this month on the West Coast of Florida at Sanibel Island. It was the most wonderful experience as our girls are reaching the age where they were really able to interact and be involved with all the family fun. There were just about 50 of  us all together and children ranging in ages from 22 to 6 months. We even had mini crafting sessions with the kids making seashell jewelry and creating our giant personalized reunion cups! (Have to keep the crafting generations going!)

Now of course, Sanibel Island is known for it's incredible Seashells! The girls just couldn't get enough and of course I am looking at them all going ohh. we can make this.. ohh. let's make that. Just fun. As a crafter I just love Christmas in July so we decided that our first Childrens Craft with these incredible seashells would be Christmas Seashell Angels. We are making them for each family from our reunion and don't worry we will have some for you too!
