Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Inspired Seashell Craft

I love it when we find an activity the kids want to do over and over!   My seven year-old was hooked on our super simple shell craft; she designed shells for several days.  Her favorites?  These awesome Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle inspired seashells!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Craft

This craft was completely my 8 year-old’s idea.  To create your own seashell ninja turtles you will need plain white clam shells and permanent markers.  

For each TMNT you wish to make, first outline all the details with a black permanent marker.   This is important so the eye area doesn’t get colored!

Then color each face mask the appropriate color:  red, purple, orange, or blue.  Finally, color the rest of the turtle green.

My daughter opted to make Raphael angry — leaving his eyes white like the cartoon often does.  (I love that detail!)

Check out Michaelangelo’s big smile!

Have a TMNT fan?

This simple shell craft is sure to be a hit!  (And now they’ll be able to REALLY have that “hero in a half shell!”
