$5 - $10 Pre-K Creative Writing Activities (by date, latest first)

Bring the ocean to life in your classroom with this engaging Ocean Themed Bundle! Packed with activities that build fine motor skills, reading, writing, and vocabulary, this bundle is a treasure trove for early learners.

Contents:
This Ocean Themed Bundle includes four exciting activities, each designed to promote hands-on learning while keeping students engaged with ocean-themed fun:

1. Write the Room: Students will search the room for 12 ocean-themed images and record their findings on one of four tracking sheets. Two options are available for early learners with images and two with primary lines for more advanced learners.
2. Lacing Cards: Featuring ocean animals, these lacing cards have easy-to-punch holes for students to thread a string or lace through, building their fine motor skills.
3. Cut and Paste Crafts: Students will cut out pieces of ocean-themed objects and glue them together, creating fun crafts while improving their scissor and gluing skills.
4. Play Dough Mats: Each mat displays an ocean object that students will replicate using play dough, with an "I Can" statement at the bottom to encourage skill-building.
5. Three Part Cards Sorting Activity: There are two forms of flashcards included students will match. One card has the image and name on it and then other form of card has the image on one part and the name on a separate part.

How the Product is Used:
Teachers can easily prepare these activities by printing each component on 8.5x11 sheets. For the Write the Room activity, the images are placed around the room for students to find and identify. The Lacing Cards just need their holes punched for threading. The Cut and Paste Crafts are printed and ready to be cut out and assembled by students. Finally, the Play Dough Mats invite students to mold ocean objects with play dough, encouraging creativity and fine motor practice.

Why You’ll Love This Product:

Each activity is not only fun but educational, helping students improve their reading, writing, and vocabulary while also reinforcing their motor skills.

Children love building with bricks! The task cards correlate with the NGSS Engineering Standards. Students naturally think about the properties of materials (color, size, and shape) that will best complete the challenge. They also take apart and rebuild to make their creation even better! This the perfect time to talk about steps in the engineering and design process! The cards can be used whole group, with partners, or at centers. They will also keep your early finishers engaged in a thoughtful way.

There are worksheets at three different levels, so students can draw or photograph, write about, and/or measuring their creations. There is a cover page included in case you decide to make their pages into a book.

A tips and suggestions page is also included.
