Coral Templates
No undersea scene would be complete without some coral on the seabed, so we've included 3 different coral templates in a variety of sizes for you to print.
What's New
Whale Template 3
Our third whale template has a rather wicked smile, which will have to be cut out carefully. He also has a lovely "spout" to cut out separately and add.
Whale Template 1
This lovely whale template is perfect for younger children, being simple to cut out and rather smiley! You could also use it as a simple writing frame.
Whale Template 2
Our second whale template comes complete with an attached spout! You might want to cut it off with younger children, or cut it out of a separate (blue) colour).
Starfish Template
Our starfish template has a simple line for the kids to cut out. Yellow or brown construction paper looks particularly effective and realistic!
Lobster Template
It's not easy to make a lobster template that isn't going to be horribly difficult to cut out! This one is a compromise on detail, but I think it is instantly recognisable as a lobster...
Stingray Template
Cut this stingray template out of dark grey or black card and add it to your undersea scene. There's something quite spooky looking about a stingray, isn't there?
Jellyfish Template 1
A jellyfish template is always going to be a bit tricky to cut out, so take care when you are cutting the tentacles on this one. Perhaps you could use a shimmery, pearlescent card?
Jellyfish Template 2
Perhaps your child could cut out the top piece of this jellyfish template while you cut out the bottom! Join them together with sticky tape on the back and then glue on some eyes.
Seahorse Template 1
Cut this seashorse out carefully - particularly his curly tail! These would look lovely cut from shimmery or glittery card and strung up as a mobile in the bathroom!
Seahorse Template 2
This lovely rounded seahorse template is as simple an outline as we could manage for cutting out, but it makes a big impact. Use for crafts, collage and display.
Shark Template
You can recognise this shark template instantly from its fin and pointed nose! Kids can use it for tracing, cutting and crafting activities, or as a writing frame. It's available in various different sizes.
Shark Template 3
Not a shark template as such - more like a shark fin! We've included this shark template for fun, although I don't suppose it would be much fun to see a shark's fin in the waves like this when you were out swimming.
Shark Template 2
This shark template has rounded outlines to make it easier to cut out and slightly less scary for younger children. You could even use the largest template 6 (there are 6 in total) to make a shark softie.
Dolphin Template 2
This is a cute and cuddly dolphin template more than a realistic one! It would be fun to cut two shapes out of grey felt and sew together to make a little dolphin softie, with a little black embroidered or button eye.
Dolphin Template 3
This realistic dolphin template would work brilliantly for a collage scene, with a whole pod of dolphins leaping over the waves. You could even show depth using different sizes of dolphins, with larger at appearing nearer and smaller in the distance.
Octopus Template 1
This lovely octopus template may not be very "real life" but he is appealing and kids will enjoy his curly legs! You could even cut a few octopuses out of card and hang them, linked up, to dangle in the breeze.
Octopus Template 2
This octopus has 8 "legs" that will need cutting out carefully - but when done he sits nicely on the bottom of a sea-bed for an underwater display!
Fish Template 2
We've included lots of sizes in this fish template as it is one of our simpler outlines for children to cut out. It looks wonderful cut from sparkly or "hologram" paper. You could also decorate with tissue paper, sequins, ribbons ... in fact anything from your craft cupboard.
Fish Template 3
This funny fish template has quite a lot of character, I think! He looks like a friendly sort of fish. Choose from a variety of sizes.
