Ocean Activities is an exciting theme that captivates preschoolers’ imaginations. The morning tubs are bubbling with hands-on learning opportunities focused around the wonders of the ocean, providing a exciting way for children to engage and start their day.. Also, Ocean Math and Literacy Centers are fantastic for several reasons.
- Socialization: The activities provides opportunities for children to engage in collaborative learning through small groups, they can share materials, tackle challenges together, begin conversations, play, and learn with their tablemates. These activities foster teamwork and communication skills.
- Creativity and Play: Both are something we can build and increase by spending time working on it. Math and Literacy Centers are a perfect way to introduce a little more play and freedom into learning rather than traditional worksheets or morning work that kept kids busy but did not encourage creativity and play.

Ocean Preschool Activities
Pearl Patterns
We love this ocean themed activity! By completing different patterns, children develop a solid foundation in recognizing while learning what comes next.
Whale Spout Measurement
How high does the whale blow? Use your favorite manipulatives (goldfish, pom poms, counting blocks) to measure. Non-standard measurement is an essential foundational math skill introduced during the early learning stages.

More or Less Shark Counting
Baby shark….wants to count with you! By comparing sets of objects, children get to practice counting and gain a foundational understanding of basic numerical concepts.
Alphabet Shells
You can use this letter recognition activity different ways. Draw letters on shells and place them in a sensory bin with sand and “dig” to find the matches. You can also cover each letter with a bingo chip or pom poms.
