1. Dolphin Coloring Pages
The easiest way of using our templates is as dolphin coloring pages. The best will be to use the largest templates for this purpose.
The larger the picture of a dolphin, the easier smaller children can stay in the lines. If you want to make it more challenging use our medium or small dolphin template printables for older children.
Enjoy!
2. Dolphin Stencils
Using our dolphin printouts as stencils is also an easy way to make an adorable craft. To repurpose them as stencils I recommend using the smaller or medium-sized dolphin outlines.
They are not too hard to cut and can be used as stencils in many different projects. You could place them on black paper and make an adorable dolphin silhouette for example.
Using a spraypaint or blow techniques is always fun as well. You can find both explained in the links.
3. Learn about Mammals
As we learned above dolphins are mammals. So why not include our adorable dolphin outlines in your studies about mammals or dolphins?
Your students or children can craft while you read them a book about mammals or dolphins. They will enjoy it!
Did you enjoy our dolphin template printables? Then try our Yellow Submarine Craft, Starfish Printables, or Seahorse Templates next. You might also enjoy one of our other summer activities, such as these adorable Watermelon Templates or Ice Cream Pattern Game.
4. Letter D Activity
Besides learning about mammals our printable dolphin pages can be used while learning the letter D.
D is for Dolphin. So why not cut out a large D and add our small dolphin cutouts. This will help your students learn easier since they not only can see it but also turn it into a hands-on activity that is more memorable.
5. Dolphin Seating Cards
If you are having the next summer party why not use our dolphin printouts and use them as seating cards as shown in the picture below?
Print, color, and cut our small dolphins and place them on seating cards. You can use either bought cards or make your own as shown in this tutorial. The link can be found in the list above.
6. DIY Dolphin Garland
Besides these cute name cards for your guests, you can also use our dolphin printouts to make a dolphin garland and decorate it for your party.
Simply print and cut the medium-sized dolphin stencils on blue paper and attach them to a string. I might choose different shades of blue paper or simply print them on white paper and color them. But whatever you do, make sure to use the matching colors of your dolphin seating cards!
For our garlands, we even use different painting techniques. Go take a look here at all these fun process art ideas for your dolphin garland.
To attach the dolphin cutouts to the string we prefer to use clear tape.
7. Paper Plate Dolphin Craft
We love paper plate crafts in our house. Paper plates are such great art and craft supplies since I never run out of them.
This dolphin paper plate craft is actually pretty cool. You can turn the waves and it looks like the dolphin is jumping out of the water. Cool isn’t it?
Simply print our small dolphins and follow the instructions for this adorable summer craft. You will be surprised how easy it is.
