Printable kids’ activities
This printable PDF bundle includes 15 activities across 20 pages for screen-free fun and learning. Take a peek at a few of our favorites!
Roll and draw sea creatures
Roll and draw games are a fun way to get kids drawing and being creative with a few guidelines to encourage reluctant ones. This roll and draw sea creatures printable includes a grid of instructions.
You’ll also need one die per child, plus your kids’ favorite drawing supplies. Pencils and paper are all you need, but include crayons or pencils, or even watercolors, to encourage more!
For each roll of the die, there’s a specific body part to draw. Then depending on the number, there is a shape or style as a guideline. As your child rolls through 6 times, they’ll complete a wacky sea creature.
Matching game cards
Memory is a fun game for preschoolers and toddlers, and big kids can have fun with it too. Print 2 sets of these cute sea creature cards. We recommend card stock and for extra durability, you could also laminate the cutout cards.
Shuffle the cards, arrange them upside-down, then flip them over in pairs to find matching cards. If they match, keep them. If they don’t, flip them back over and try again.
Write the story
If your kids love Mad Libs, give them this silly beach story-writing activity. Fold the paper in half and fill in each line with a part of speech (littles will need help with this). Unfold the paper and read the story, filling in the blanks with each numbered word.
These always get silly and you can go through them again and again, getting a different story each time. This is so fun and will help kids learn to recognize nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc.
Ocean creature puzzles
There are a couple of different puzzles in this set of ocean printables, including a maze, word search, and word scramble. All of the puzzles include an answer key.
