As I expected, the hands-on sea turtle activities were a big hit! Annie especially loved the sea turtle beach. She loves to get her hands in the sand and the water and explore. The sea turtle craft is adorable, and I love that you can incorporate learning the parts of a sea turtle while painting and gluing the pieces together. It brings hands-on exploration, science, and language together.
Based on my observations, Annie loved everything! She couldn’t do everything independently. I will keep this in mind for future themes and lessons that I plan. We could do the same skills and type of activities again, but for a different piece. It keeps it interesting for your child!
Since Annie loves hands-on exploration so much, I will keep that in mind as I choose new activities for her next week!
Have you tried any ocean activities, and have you tried the planner? You can download the planner by signing up below. How did it go?
Would love to have this resource as we are studying about the life cycle of a sea turtle.
Brenda, That’s wonderful! I am so glad that you found the sea turtle resources helpful!

These are great ideas!! I love the mystery bag and the craft ideas!! A craft with a purpose like the turtle that then becomes a toy/part of the activity is my favourite kind!
It’s a fun idea.
What cute learning activities!
You have such a great list of mindful activities! Sea turtles are my son’s favorite water animals as well. He will enjoy all about the body parts activities 😀
This is amazing! We’re doing an ocean unit this week. I’ll definitely be incorporating this.
These are such great ideas!! I can’t wait to do this with my kids.
This is adorable and kids love hands on activities so much. We love sea turtles in our house!
This is amazing! Educational and entertaining activities for my little ones.
This is so cute! I love turtles, and not just in the way Kim Richards does. Such fun projects.
This is fantastic! I can see why your daughter had so much fun with the activities and materials. My son is obsessed with sharks at the moment so many of our activities revolve around them.
