Octonauts Water Pool Hunt

We had a fun afternoon in the sun pretending to be Octonauts. With the help of Peso, Dashi, and Tweak we used our fishing nets to hunt the pool for missing objects :)

I filled the activity table with water and a little bit of bubble bath to obscure their view slightly. I threw in some foam alphabets, sea creatures and random little items. I then gave the children little missions  to use their nets to find certain letters, items, or to spell words.

Under the sea

Mr Squid 

We painted paper plates and decorated them to look like sea creature. :)

Mrs Octopus

Mr Turtle 

Hand print fish

Hand print pictures are adorable and make lovely little keepsakes. We made some bubble print backgrounds and stamped some little hand print fishes,

Bubble Printing 

Bubble printing is a really fun technique using materials you will probably have around the house. 

Using a small container we filled 1/3 of the tub with water and added a blob of paint and washing up liquid. We then blew through a straw to create lots of bubbles/

Next  we placed a sheet of paper over the top to create our bubble piece of art.
