Crafty Mommy Monday- Ocean Animals

I am so excited about this week's unit.  We are heading to the beach next week so I thought it would be fun to learn about ocean animals.  We'll probably continue this unit after we get back as well. 

I love what we made for the felt board!  Campbell loves it already, too.  (and I have to say I'm quite impressed with how my felt cutting skills are coming along ;)  )
I also changed the sensory box for this week.  I tore up blue tissue paper and added the ocean animals from this Ocean Toob (bought at Michael's).
 
 
I bought Swedish Fish for us to make this snack...should be fun!

I am going to print these to use with her Dot Paints.

I found this Magnetic Story and Play Scene at TJ Maxx.  I think she'll enjoy playing with it!

I also will be using the books and matching activity from this Tot Pack.

In addition to the Ocean Animal activities, we are continuing to work on basic skills.  Campbell is still struggling with colors, so I created this color sorting activity using a set from 1+1+1=1.  Although she can sort colors independently, I will use it to identify colors with her.  I like these pictures a lot because they are real objects but still very clear photos.

I love reading your craft ideas! I have only been following your blog for a few months. Can you tell me how old Campbell is? I have a 20 month old and are beginning to wonder if we are behind based on some of your crafts.

Meagan-
I'm so glad you enjoy these posts. I've been having lots of fun writing them (plus it keeps me accountable for actually doing stuff ;) ). Campbell is 28 months old (but was 3 months premature so about 25 months). So, you're not behind at all! Let me know if you have any questions!
