Want to keep the fun going after the video? Here are some simple, ocean-themed activities you can do at home to reinforce the learning:

🍓 Ocean Snack – Blue Jell-O Aquariums 

Make blue gelatin in clear cups, then add gummy fish or fruit snacks once it’s set. Crushed graham crackers on top make a perfect sandy beach!

💧 Sink or Float Science Game

Play fun music and call out sea animals for your child to act out: “Swim like a dolphin!” “Float like a jellyfish!” When the music stops—FREEZE!
