Learning Activities

Fish Magnets: made with coloring sheets, contact paper, magnets
We used these all month on the fridge and cookie sheets we could bring with us anywhere!

Crawl Through Aquarium: made with cardboard box, ribbon, colored paper

We played with his fish animals and he loved the ribbon seaweed!

Sensory Gel Bags: made with soap, ziplock baggies, coated paper and plastic fish, duct tape

These were great because they were also scented from the soap!

Fish Felt Board: made with felt and tagboard

Sammy loves felt boards, so I made an aquarium felt scene for him!

Fish Videos and Images

The Hooplakidz videos are always a HUGE hit with Sammy!

Paper Fish Play: I found fish cutouts at the Dollar Tree

These are great for counting!

Fish Books

We were lucky enough to get an awesome ocean play package from Grandmarms and Aunt Katie this month -- straight from the Monterey Bay Aquarium!

Digital Aquarium Time with Bubbles and Ribbon

We found a few digital aquarium channels on the ROKU. We played with bubbles and ribbons and pretended to be fish!

Art Projects

Water Painting

We used water and paper to make a mess friendly art project, you can see the water absorb into the paper. This is a great way to introduce kiddos to paint brushes!
