First, draw the outline of a seahorse on the paper plate. I had my kids look at a picture of a seahorse, then they freehanded the outline on their own and cut it out.

Next, color the seahorse as desired. We didn’t get too realistic here.

Let the glue dry.

If you want, you can glue a piece of string to the back so it’s easier to hang, but we just taped ours to the refrigerator.
