Ocean Theme

There are so many fun ways to play with these starfish letter cards. You can do a Go Fish style game, memory, or lay them out for a bingo game or cover them with a matching toy letter.

Ocean Beginning Sounds

Learning to recognize beginning sounds is a great preschool/kindergarten skill. For this activity, children can choose sea creatures and then find their beginning letter sound to place next to it.

Jellyfish Tentacles Counting

Playdough is a favorite with my kiddos. For this fun activity, you can roll out the correct number of tentacles and place them under the jellyfish.

Divers I Spy Fish Counting

Pretend to be a diver. What can you see? Count the sea creatures listed on each card into the ocean scene.

Ocean Shells Color Sorting

Color sorting is a lot of fun. In this seashell themed game children can sort colored shells, beads, blocks, Legos or whatever loose parts you have lying around onto the shells.

Sand Toys Letter Matching

Have you tried a sand sensory bin in the summer? These are a fun addition to that. Children can match the buckets and shovels, and if you have these cool clips, the children can even link them together. The fine motor practice is a great bonus.

Shell Count and Collect

My kiddos love playing with seashells. You can use traditional shells or something a bit different like these cute, colored starfish manipulatives.

Seashell Sight Words

For more fun with sand, try writing your sight words in them. You can then line the words with shells.
