OCEAN ACTIVITIES FOR PRESCHOOLERS!
LITERACY: SEASHELL SYLLABLES
Sketch a seashell on 4 different sheets of paper and label each with a number 1-4. Have your child fill a basket with items from around the house (for added fun, turn on a timer and let them run and fill the basket). Lay the numbered seashells on the ground and sort the basket of items by number of syllables.
Tip: Have your child say aloud the word then clap the “beats” in each word to identify how many syllables.
MATH: FISHY PATTERNS
Sketch an ocean scene on a sheet of paper and cut out multiple simple fish in various colors. Work with your child to create fish patterns in the sea. If your child needs support add colored dots in a pattern to the page for them to glue the fish on and then have them repeat the pattern out loud.
GROSS MOTOR: JUMPING WAVES
Looking for a fun way to get moving? Grab a piece of chalk and make wave lines on the ground. Have some close together and gradually increase the distance between each line until they are farther apart. Practice jumping from wave to wave! *No chalk? Create tape lines inside instead.
CREATIVITY: LOOSE PARTS OCEAN
Loose parts are a favorite in this house so I had to add this fun ocean activity to the list! Search your craft bin for various loose parts. You are looking for a mix that can be used to create an ocean scene (glass gems, pipe cleaners, pompoms, ocean animal toys, dried colored pasta, popsicle sticks mini erasers, etc). Set out the tray of loose parts and a white sheet of paper. Invite your child to make an ocean scene from the loose parts.
FINE MOTOR: JELLYFISH CUT
Draw the top of a jellyfish on a vertical piece of paper. For the tentacles sketch different style lines (straight, zig-zag, curved). Give your child scissors and have them cut each line.

SORTING: LAND OR SEA
Divide a paper into two sections. Label one land and the other sea. Collect sea animals and land animals. Have your child pick an animal sort by sea or land. *If you don’t have toy animals you can sketch some on small strips of paper or find and print images from online.
