I made this book the way I teach in my art classes: start with simple shapes and build from there. Under the Sea Activity Book for Kids is an ocean activity book for kids ages 3 and up, with 58 activities on 66 big pages.

It’s more than a coloring book. Kids discover how deep the ocean goes, follow a sea turtle from egg to grown-up, help clean trash out of the sea, and learn to draw sea creatures one easy step at a time.

What’s inside

66 pages, 58 activities:

  • A “Meet the Sea Creatures” page with a fun, true fact about each animal

  • 2 “Clean the Ocean” pages: find and circle the trash, plus easy ways to help

  • 2 “Trace the Words” pages and 2 “Pattern Party” pages to decorate with stripes, dots and waves
