Hawaii Crafts for Kids

Sharing is caring!

When you mention Hawaii to your kids, do they think of beaches, sunshine, and volcanoes? Me too! Hawaii is an amazing place to study when you want to learn about geographical features and landscapes. For one thing, this state is actually made up of eight separate islands, which means that it has the fourth-longest coastline in the U.S. at 750 miles long!

With so much to learn, Hawaii is a fun craft topic! These fun and simple Hawaii crafts for kids feature natural learning ideas that children can try themselves to get an idea of just how incredible the Aloha State’s geography is!

Be sure to pick up my Beach Find the Letter Worksheets and check out my list of favorite Beach Books for Kids to add to your Hawaii unit!
