Speaking of mothers, my mother-in-law is a sweet old lady, I remember she had a necklace made of colorful seashells and that’s what we’re going to draw today! Did you know seashell art is one of the oldest art forms in the world!
Seashells display a huge array of colors, shapes, and pretty patterns. No one knows why or how these mollusks are made out to be so pretty or what gives them all their colors…but it’s suspected to be some type of survival, evolutionary reason.

🖍️ Tools For Success
- Paper (Our Free How To Draw Template PDF)
- Pencil
- Polymer Eraser
- Outline Markers
- Coloring Tools (I recommend Crayola’s 140 Piece Coloring Case)
🎨 Parents: The only tools you need to use these how-to-draw tutorials are: an eraser, a pencil, and a piece of paper. But – if you have them around – a sketching pencil makes for fainter and softer lines that help kids build fine motor accuracy. I also recommend going over the sketch pencil with a black outline marker when you’re done for a neater finish. Lastly, erase the pencil marks before adding color.

Seashells Fun Facts for Kids

- Shells of different shapes but different environments and uses for their shape: round and smooth means easily for animals to bury into the sand and they depend on stealth and sleekness to hide from predators.
