Ocean Animals

We spent the week learning all about the animals in the ocean! This is always one of my favorite themes to teach... because the ocean is such a foreign place to the kids in Minnesota-- it's always fun, new and exciting! We sang ocean animal songs, put together a giant 100 piece ocean floor puzzle, made a blue jello ocean snack, added the corresponding number "suckers" to the numbered octopus legs, made sea snails using shells, play doh, pipe cleaners and google eyes, filled the sensory table with blue water and plastic ocean animals and tons of other ocean crafts! On Friday, we went swimming and pretended to be every animal in the ocean we could imagine!
