  1. The 55 ocean animal clothesepin game sounds like fun! I love all the great ideas here. Wonderful for keeping the kids busy.

  2. Love this! Our daughter Ashlynn is STILL talking about her ocean project that she did last year in school. She would love these ideas!!

    1. What is it about the ocean that makes everyone love it so much? The fact that swimming is the best past-time ever or the fact that all the creatures are so interesting?

  3. My grandkids love the ocean and all of its creatures. I have pinned these activities for when they arrive this summer and I will let them choose which ones they want to do.

  4. Ocean-themed activities are really loved by children..we did something similar a couple of years ago during our VBS..

  5. Good ideas. The oceans and seas have so many things to learn about. All of the animals, fish and other sea critters and the oceans themselves like currents. When my son was younger and his mom was alive, we used to take him over to the coast and go through the aquariums and other attractions. He really enjoyed the beach and the petting zoo also.

  6. Thank you for all the work you did to prepare this extensive list of resources for ocean themed learning. You spent so much time and we appreciate it! Very nice collection of materials for children who will enjoy them so much. Pinning!
