After playing with our water beads earlier this week, and seeing how much Lorelai enjoyed it, I was inspired to make some rice sensory bins. I took it a step further and made “Habitat Bins” – not sure if that term has ever been used, but I’m using it! =) I found some pretty awesome […]
{ Ocean Week RECAP }
Finally, a theme in which we were able to accomplish a lot! I think it helped that I dedicated 2 weeks to the subject. We definitely could have kept going. We will revisit this one for sure in the future! Crafts & Activities We Did: Sea Animals Memory Game *printable* Paper Roll Octopus Craft Seahorse […]
Sea Animals Printable Memory Game
Memory was one of my favorite games as a child, and that seemed to pass on down to Lorelai. We play it all.the.time. The only difference is when I was younger, my brothers and I would use a deck of cards and Lorelai gets to use fun custom-made ones. =) Sorry about the cruddy photos. […]
{ Oceans of the World Printable }
{ Download & Print: Our World’s Oceans Printable } This is another printable I made. Not as colorful and fun as most, but it does get the job done if you don’t have a globe handy – which we don’t yet. (It’s on my list!) We went through the different oceans and Lorelai currently knows […]
{ Pancakes for Ocean Week }
I decided to surprise Lorelai with a fun breakfast this morning. She loves pancakes (who doesn’t???). I decided to make them ocean-themed since we’re still on Ocean Week! She was ecstatic, though I don’t know if it was because of the shape or because of the chocolate chip eyes. =) Use your favorite pancake recipe, […]
Ocean Worksheets
I made these two ocean-themed print-outs for Lorelai to use for practice. The first one is a tracing sheet with ocean-themed words. She went over them in marker. You can laminate the printable or use a sheet protector to get more than one use out of it! Sorry, the quality isn’t the best in the […]
Ocean Waves in a Bottle
I thought this would be a fun little craft/activity/experiment for Lorelai to do to mimic ocean waves. We actually made this once before, before LCL was around, but she was really too young to understand or even care about it. She LOVED it today! She learned about how oil and water don’t mix, and then […]
