World Oceans Day

To mark World Ocean's Day I have put together some ideas for Ocean themed play. Its an easy way to start discussion with Children around the importance of our oceans and how we can protect them.

1. Small World Beach Play

Why not take your favourite ocean creatures to the beach for some themed play whilst at the seaside.    

Then back at home you can re-create your beach and seside adventures.

2. Playdough fun

Creating scenes and pictures with Playdough became so much easier with the themed rollers. The Ocean themed rollers can be combne with some sea creatures and blue playdough. 

3. Bookish Play

Reading and putting together story sacks and bookish play bundles enables us to read through the stories and facts and learn more about the ocean. Otto's Ocean is a story all about pollution in the sea and introduces the need to reduce waste to protect our oceans. 

4. Role Play - Pirate themed play for some ocean adventures

5. Quiet time play

When we all need a bit of quiet time, a few ocean themed toys can be the perfect option.
