Ocean Letter Tracing Cards

-

I had a comment on my Insect Letter Cards post asking for ocean cards next.  Since I love making printables, and I love hearing from my reader's even more, I was very happy to comply!  These were fun for my family, too, as we get ready for our summer beach trip.  Of course, these cards are great for a seaside vacation, a road trip, some summer learning, or an ocean theme unit any time of the year!

We've been talking a lot about the ocean lately at our house, so I have some more beach and ocean blog posts coming soon.  Here are a few ocean animals for your own themed study, sensory bin, or play time.  Be sure to check out my ocean learning area with more resources and come back soon for more printables and ideas!









Like my other letter cards, this 13-page PDF can be printed on your home printer, cut apart, and laminated, and written on over and over.  I use my HP Instant Ink printer (best investment- still haven't paid for ink!) for all my printables, and then laminate them with my apache laminator.  I go through so many laminating pouches to make my printables durable, so I buy the pack of 200 generic sheets off of Amazon.  Lastly, I cut them out and bind them with my Swingline Binding System with reusable combs.

As I was printing these letter cards for the blog pictures, I thought they would also work very well for a letter hunt with "Shiver Me Letters: Pirates ABCs!"  I couldn't find our copy this morning, but here's the Amazon link so you can see it for yourself.  In the book, the pirate captain tells his crew that "Rrrr" alone "just won't do!"  He sends them out on a grand adventure to find all the letters of the alphabet.  These letter cards could be hung on a wall or hidden around an area, while children are encouraged to find all the letters.  In the book, they even have to find them in ABC order!

Clipart is from Scrapbook Gems on Etsy.  If you're looking for some cute digital scrapbooking graphics and papers, be sure to check out her shop!


I love getting reader's comments!

Pun Party Themes "Luke was Adopted Too" ( Star Wars ) "Welcome to Our Zoo" ( zoo ) "We're Wild About This One" ( jungle ) "Wanted: Asleep or Awake" ( cowboy ) "Bee-ing Loved" or "Sweet as Honey" ( bees ) "We Found the Missing Piece" ( puzzles ) "Showers of Blessings" ( rain/umbrella/rainbows ) "You are My/Our Sunshine" ( sunflowers/yellow ) "You Color Our World" ( paint/color/art ) "Superman was Adopted Too" ( superhero ) "Our Family was Built by Adoption" ( construction ) "This is My Circus- These are My Clown

Today is National Drive-in Movie Day.  In honor of that old-timey American pastime, I've been running a series all this week about family movie nights.  Today is the last post, and the topic is "home theaters."  I have a dream to own a house with a neat home theater room some day.  What about you?  Do you want one?  Do you already have one?  Comment at the end of the post and tell me about it!

When I rebranded this blog from "In Our Pond" to "Homeschooling My Kinetic Kids" this year, I wanted to add more content for high-energy kids.  Some moms and I were talking this morning about dealing with stir-crazy kids in these winter months.  After I brainstormed a bunch of ideas for the FB group, I decided the list would make a great blog post!  I try not to do things the easy way in my blog, so I made a list of 100 activities. 1- breath holding contest to practice for summer swimming 2- cartwheels 3- make a balance board with a board and a can 4- stretch with exercise bands 5- wheelbarrow races down the hallway 6- put on a circus or play 7- paint a picture with your feet 8- handstand contest 9- pretend to be an animal 10- make a ring toss game with paper plates 11- 52 card pick-up 12- push an ice cube with your nose across the kitchen floor 13- play concentration ( instructions ) 14- wresting 15- speed cleaning contest 16- relay races
