Ocean Blue

PF made a request yesterday, while I was considering what theme to use for our Friday centers, she wanted on ocean theme. I didn't realize just how much ocean themed activities I had. We worked together last night to create 14 centers for our ocean blue theme. I wanted a mix of educational levels so that preschool to middle school were covered and everybody would have a good time.

We started the morning with blue oatmeal in blue bowls. I just added blue sugar sprinkles to the top of their oatmeal.

 After breakfast, the girls had their praise and worship time. Last years VBS was the High Seas so I had a DVD handy to go with our theme.

 Center 1: Cutting, pasting and coloring.

 Center 2: Memory

 Center 3: Sorting by color or animal

 Center 4: Tracing

 Center 5: Blue discovery bucket. The possibilities are endless.

 Center 6: Playdough and spelling ocean.
