Under the Sea Pencil Toppers

September 14, 2011 by Holly Gagnon 17 Comments

My son’s classroom has a School Under the Sea theme so being the crafty Mum I am, I surely had to make something  fun for the classroom.    I decided to make Under the Sea Pencil Toppers with a Holder that coordinates with the Under the Sea theme.

Sea Creature Pencil Toppers perfect Teach Gift for any Ocean Theme Classroom

{This post contains affliate links}

   The sea creatures are cut and welded together from Cricut Life’s a Beach Cartridge and I used the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge to make the post sign.

 

I found the plastic beach bin from Target One Spot {I just love that area!}.   I added  sea glass inside the bin to look like water.

 Under the Sea Teacher Name Sign

PS-the green fish is especially made for my son so when he looks at it, he’ll know is Mommy is thinking of him. 🙂

I’m sharing this with:
