1. Seahorse Coloring Pages
The easiest way of using our templates is as seahorse coloring pages. I advise choosing our large template for this purpose.
The larger the picture of a seahorse, the easier smaller children can stay in the lines. If you want to make it more challenging use our medium or small seahorse template printables for older children.
To make it more interesting, let your children add seahorse patterns with bright colorful markers or crayons. This activity is so much fun!
Enjoy!
2. Seahorse Stencils
Using our seahorse printouts as stencils is also an easy way to make an adorable under-the-sea craft. I recommend using the smaller or medium-sized seahorse outlines to repurpose them as stencils.
In this case, you can use your cutouts easily as seahorse stencils on a paper plate. Trace them with a pencil on the paper plate, cut them out, and decorate them nicely. To give you some adorable inspiration, go check out the seahorse art project below.
3. Learn about Sea Animals
As we learned above seahorses are fish and very adorable. So why not include our simple seahorse outlines in your studies about living under the sea?
You could read a matching book while letting them color our pictures of seahorses and crafts afterward.

4. Letter S Activity
Besides learning about life under the sea and seahorses specifically our printable seahorse pages can be used while learning the letter S.
S is for Seahorses. So why not cut out the letter ‘S’ on a white piece of paper and add our small seahorse cutouts. Let your children, color and glue them together while singing songs about the letter S and doing some tracing activities.
5. Seahorse Puppets
Our adorable seahorse template cutouts can also be turned into adorable puppets. Simply print them out on thicker paper and attach a stick to the bag after decorating your seahorse.
You can use any stick you have at home or you can find it.
Either go for a quick walk or even use a popsicle stick for this activity. If you already tried our seahorse stencil project above, it can be turned into a seahorse puppet as well.
6. Seahorse Art
Why not create your own seahorse art or even make a summer or birthday party activity out of it? There are so many fun ways how to decorate them or make them sparkle or glitter.
Here I like to show you how they turn out with cupcake liners and watercolors. The link for the full tutorial can be found in our list above.
