Manatee Paper Craft for Kids – Free Template (Keep Calm & Manatee On!)

This Manatee Paper Craft is a fun and easy ocean themed project that lets kids create their own adorable purple manatee using our free printable template and just a few simple materials. It's perfect for ocean and sea animal units, Florida and coastal themed activities, or just a manatee-tastic good time at home or in the classroom.

Using our free printable template, kids can color, cut, and glue their way to an irresistibly cute manatee — complete with a layered purple body and belly, chunky little arms, a rounded snout with drawn on nostrils, a paddle tail, giant googly eyes, and an optional ribbon bow on top for extra charm — while building fine motor and creative skills.

This craft works great for:

• ocean and sea animal themed lessons • Florida and coastal wildlife units • summer and beach themed classroom projects • homeschool and classroom art projects
