It’s time for another one of our habitat themes with ocean animals. Kids will be spending more time at the beach and will likely come across many of these marine animals. We will explore the different types of animals found in the ocean and some of their amazing adaptations that help them live there.
NOTE: Some of the activity links go straight to a pin on Pinterest instead of a blog page. Read the description of the pin for the activity instructions. If you are new here, make sure to check out the Themed Curriculum page for more details about how to use this curriculum. Looking for a different theme? Check out all of our themes here.
As we go through this week’s activities together make sure to use #KL4Locean and @kidslearningforlife to share the activities you do! Don’t forget to follow me on Facebook or Instagram to see me doing the activities with my own kids!
