Ocean Animal Busy Bag

It’s time for Busy Bag of the Month!

This month we’re exploring the theme of ocean! We’ve been spending a lot of time at the beach this summer and were looking for ways to have fun at home to keep those memories in our minds. I’ve created a fun little Ocean Animal Game to help us remember the animals we discovered and learned about this summer.  

Plus we’ll work on some math skills of one to one, matching, patterning and number recognition!

Let’s get started by printing the pieces for the Ocean Animal Busy Bug Printables {Click HERE}. If you have any ocean toys many of these activities will work them them instead of printables too.

 

Ocean Themed Busy Bug 
Here are the activities that you can do with just a few simple items in a bag!  Perfect for learning at home and on the go!

Activity #1
Match the Ocean Animals to the “Let’s Explore the Ocean Mat”
 
Activity # 2
Sort the Ocean Animals into matching groups
 
Activity #3
Create Patterns with the Ocean Animals
 
Activity #4
Pull a number from the number pile and place that amount of Ocean Animals into the water.
 
Activity #5

Make your own ocean with printables or draw an image
