Beach Day at School!

We ended two weeks of Ocean themed activities (which included a field trip to a local aquarium with a Beach Day! Here are a few of the activities we enjoyed -

Sorting Sea Shells (recycled plastic tray from a candy box)

Parachute play during together time( most schools call circle time)with blow up ocean animal balls and beach balls from $ store


Cant have a beach day without LIMBO!
Kids with hoses Woo hoo! We turned our sand box into a mini-beach

Ocean Art!
Shaving cream, blue paint & glue makes a great texture for the ocean "water"

A Day at You're Invited Children's Center

Great Shape Math Activity!

$ bin at Target has some great treasures! I found these great little square, cylinder and triange foam blocks and created these boards with cereal box cardboard and construction paper. The friends at You're Invited worked with these materials for the whole morning :)


There are so many skills these friends are working on!



Patterns, eye-hand coordination, sequencing, estimating, color matching, counting, seriation, cooperation...

Can you list more skills this super low cost but great activity provides?

Ocean Snack!

We had fun with graham crackers, blue tinted frosting and colored goldfish! One of many activities we have been enjoying to go along with our field trip last week to Long Beach Aquarium of the Pacific!

A completely self-help activity as the friends smoothed on the frosting, we counted out the goldfish and create ocean snacks!
