Nothing says Summer like a fun Ocean themed unit! We’ve always been fascinated by the ocean and ocean creatures in our house! It makes sense as we are originally from the Ocean State. I’ve created many ocean themed playful learning activities over the years that my son has loved! I hope your kids have as much fun this summer playing and learning with these 6 outstanding ocean activities!
6 Ocean Activities for Kids
The biggest hit we’ve made has been the Shark Sensory Bottle! It’s so simple to make and fun to play with!
Another activity we enjoyed in the Shark theme was the Shark Tooth Discovery Sensory bin! Caden had so much fun searching for real shark teeth!
I also created this Shark Aquarium math game to help my son learn the concept of more, less and equal.
One of the ways my son learned so much about the ocean and ocean animals was from the Octonauts! He loved the books and cartoon so much that I created a fun Octonauts water bin for him to play with!
Another fun way to learn through play about the ocean is with this fun Sparkling Ocean Play Dough!
Or this Ocean Sensory Table! This is one of the earliest sensory bins I created for Caden and he loved it so much he played with it all summer!
