Ocean Printables

Sea creatures and beach finds run through these ocean sets. There is an ocean coloring book that ends on the beach, a kawaii book of big-eyed ocean babies with their names in banners, and 36 coloring bookmarks of sea creatures and underwater places. The games include an ocean bingo with a narwhal and a sea otter among its pictures, a memory match that goes past the dolphin to a dugong and a beluga, an under-the-sea routine and reward chart, and a scavenger hunt of sea creatures and beach finds. The undersea explorer activity pack leads a child from a sunny lagoon to a shipwreck and a glowing cave, then ends on caring for the ocean. Four boat coloring sets head out to sea as well: a sailboat, a fishing boat, a cruise ship and a round-windowed submarine. On the clipart side, crafters get six sets: forty watercolor sea animals with white sticker edges, faceless watercolor jellyfish and starfish, engraved vintage seashells with sand dollars and a coastal wreath, teal and navy dolphins leaping over curling waves, and retro cartoon sea turtles, some riding a wave or wearing flowers on their shells. For paper crafts and screens, the cartoon beach backgrounds hold sixteen storybook seaside designs, from sunny coves and a moonlit bay under palms to shells on the sand, two note papers and two shell patterns that tile seamlessly. For a monitor or TV, the ocean wallpapers are sixteen realistic seascapes seen from above the water, from a wave curling overhead and pale sea stacks at dawn to a reef seen from high up, glassy polar ice and a moonlit path across dark waves, each in two widescreen sizes and a square crop. Bead crafters can build thirty pixel sea creatures, a blue whale, a manta ray, a conch and a seahorse among them, each under 1,140 beads and charted for standard or mini beads. Nine more sets turn sea creatures into black-and-white outlines and silhouettes, and eight of them give each design as a solid shape and a line version. The whales run from a breaching humpback to a tusked narwhal and a rising tail, and the orcas add a layered file that keeps the white markings apart from the black body. One shark set opens with eight hammerheads before twelve other species, while the second draws twelve named sharks beside a lone fin in the waves and a shark duo. The stingray set sorts its twenty into stingrays, mantas, eagle rays, cownose rays and skates. There are jellyfish from a moon jelly to two smiling cartoon bells, sixteen crabs with four shore scenes, and ten sea stars joined by a sand dollar, a seahorse, coral, kelp and five shells. The octopus set is the exception, with each of its twenty poses drawn one way only, fourteen in solid black and six in line, and every arm ending in a tight spiral curl.
