Ocean Sensory Bottles
A student teacher helped our kiddos make these cute ocean theme sensory bottles. You can add stickers on the outside, even on the lid. You can add sand and tiny seashells to the bottles. Fun Stuff.
Life’s A Beach
Like a Zen Garden only it’s a beach. Kids can make this their happy place. Add a few props and the kids get it.
Now might be a good time to take a field trip to your local aquarium. Wikipedia has a great list of links to hundreds of aquaria across the country here.
Yellow Submarine
One of our three’s teachers put this yellow submarine together for her Ocean Theme. She ran some plain lamination paper through the machine for her porthole windows. A dollar store peerascope is a great addition. Stinking cute!
SHARKS!
When your submarine dives deep you might encounter a SHARK! This one isn’t so scary, made of masking tape.
Speaking of sharks, we take this as a Pinterest success! We left off the back fin but our kids enjoyed making and wearing their shark hats.
Here are a few books our class thought were great!
Shark Dog! is very cute for preschoolers. Gilbert is great!
Jellyfish Sensory Bottle
One plastic bag can make two jellyfish Cut a plastic bag into two large squares. Stuff the scraps into the middle to make a head. Then tie this off with white yarn or floss.
Cut strips toward the head to make long tendrils.
Plopp your jellyfish in a plastic bottle and fill with light blue water.
The jellyfish will move more freely in a bigger bottle.
We gave these jellyfish big eyes for some reason. Who knows. lol
This is the Pinterest we were going for. Can’t nail ‘em all. lol
The jelly fish in this mural is actually one from the above pic. It’s just paper bowl inverted, with ribbon glued on the under side. We added eyes. Don’t ask. lol
All types of fish are found in the Ocean, even Rainbow Fish! 🌈 You’ll need a class supply of fish patterns, bleeding tissue paper, small cups of water, and paint brushes. You can have the tissue paper precut or have the children rip some into small shapes. The children will lay the tissue paper all over their fish and paint over the whole thing with the water. When the tissue paper is dry, the kids remove the tissue paper to reveal the colors!
