Shark Lady Book
This book is the true story of how Eugenie Clark became the “Ocean’s Most Fearless Scientist”. It tells the tale of how she fell in love with sharks and overcame society’s belief at the time that women couldn’t be scientists.
Ocean BINGO
A classic game in an ocean theme!
Ocean Days with Crab
A touch and feel board book for the littlest of ocean lovers.
Kids Ocean Party Soft Sheets
Microfiber sheets that are washer/dryer friendly. I was hesitant to recommend $9 sheets, but the 60k reviews convinced me otherwise!
The Fascinating Ocean Book for Kids
Described as an entry into ocean books. I love the large pictures even for kids that are not reading yet.
Kids Unplugged Ocean Quest Activity Book
64 pages of facts, puzzles, coloring, and activities recommended for ages 6-8.
Sensory Water Beads with Sea Animals
This one could get messy so definitely check in with the grownups first, but provided the right size bucket (and maybe a towel underneath) this one is sure to be entertaining for the grandkids!
Underwater Ocean Floor Puzzle
This puzzle is 3×2 when complete and has awesome large pieces so kids of varying ages can participate. My daughter had this in her classroom while student teaching and it was a favorite of the students each morning during entry time.
Ocean Hidden Pictures Book
We are huge Highlights fans and my grandkids receive the High Five magazine each month. Their favorite part is always to quickly turn to the Hidden pictures page. This would be an inexpensive book for our ocean-loving grands and with 1900 images to find it would definitely keep them busy for a while.
Sea-Animals Felt Flannel Story Board
Flannel boards are making a comeback! Easy to store, and a really fun interactive way for our grandkids to use their imagination over and over again.
Ravensburger Ocean Labyrinth Game
Designed for ages 8 and up, this is a great option for older grandkids and gets great reviews.
Ocean Animals Dig Kit
This sealife meets excavation kit includes 12 shells with suprise sea animals inside that requires some fine tooth combing and discovery!
Go Fish
The classic card game deserves a place in everyone’s home!
Ocean Memory Match
This version is a 20 card set with an ocean theme that’s a great game for our youngest grandkids. When we play, we eliminate additional matches to meet the needs of our two year old granddaughter. They never get tired of pulling this one out of the cupboard.
Make a Sea Stickers Sheets
These are always a win with our grandkids and we have purchased many variations of these sticker sheets. Typically I even divide them up and give each grandkid a “set” for the price of one.
