Let’s Get Crafting!

1. Create the Ocean:

• Start with a paper plate as your base. 

• Color or paint the bottom half of the plate blue to make the ocean. Let your little one swirl the colors around to make waves.

2. Add the Beach:

• Cut a strip of brown construction paper and glue it along the edge of the “ocean” to make the sandy beach ( Encourage your child to draw little sand dots or seashells with markers).

3. Make Malin’s Boat:

• Draw a simple boat shape on a piece of brown construction paper. 

• Help your child cut it out and glue it onto the blue part of the plate. 

• Add a triangle sail with colorful construction paper for a fun touch!

4. Decorate with Cotton Clouds:

• Take a few cotton balls and fluff them up to look like clouds. 

• Glue them to the top part of the plate for a dreamy sky.

5. Add Fun Details:

• Let your child use markers or crayons to draw birds in the sky or fish in the water. 

• Add stickers of sea creatures if you have them for an extra bit of fun.

6. Story Time!

• Once the craft is finished, sit down with your child and tell a simple version of the Malin Kundang story. 

• Point to the boat and ocean as you share the tale, making it interactive and engaging.
