The Best Ocean Unit Study for Kids
Do you have a nature table or Science area at your house or school? I’m really hoping you said yes because this is a favorite spot of ours. If you don’t have a designated area you might want to consider adding one occasionally. They can be great for hands-on learning.
Fill your table up with sensory experiences, natural materials, and loose parts for your children to enjoy.
You can grab a lot of shark ideas, games, activities and free sharks of the world cards here.
Ocean Activities
If you’re not familiar with loose parts they are awesome! They can be anything small and loose
Some examples for Ocean inspired loose parts are:
sea glass
glass beads
rocks
driftwood
small figures or ocean animals
any natural materials
colored beads
pom poms
shells… The list is endless.
Loose parts are great for your child’s imagination. They can play, build, or decorate however they want. They can count with them, enjoy the different textures of them, and create their own story with them.
Bring on the loose parts!
