15 Creative Ocean Themed Activities

June 29, 2015 by Anna Ranson

Here is a collection of 15 creative, ocean themed activities for kids to enjoy this summer,  with ideas for play, learning, art and cooking!

15 ocean themed activities for kids

Summer is officially here in the UK and the weather is truly glorious! We are dreaming of days at the beach, dipping our toes in the sea and collecting shells to make projects with. Over the years we have done lots of ocean themed activities, so I have collected the best ones together into a play collection which will hopefully be quick to reference for your summer play planning!

There are crafts, learning through play activities, sensory fun and a tasty recipe too. Enjoy!
