Dinomite, Bulldozer, and Princess are enjoying shark activities on their shelves right now. Sunshine decided that she must have her own as well.
I am so excited with how these shark activities for tots with free printables turned out. They are absolutely adorable and Sunshine loves them.
Knowing Sunshine becomes confused with the difference between sharks and whales, both are included in this set of activities.
Here's what's on our shelves!
Language
S is for Shark
Sunshine will use the paint and paint brush provided to paint the large S. For those who prefer whales over sharks, I have provided a "W is for Whale" printable in the tot pack.Source: I created the printable for this activity as part of the Shark Activities for Tots Printable Pack 1. This is a subscriber's only freebie. See directions at the bottom of this post on how to access your free copy.
Math
Counting Sharks
Sunshine will count the sharks, trying to match the number of sharks on each card.Source: I created the printable for this activity as part of the Shark Activities for Tots Printable Pack 1.

Science & Culture
Shark vs. Whale
Sunshine will sort the cards properly. Pictures of each of the animals are on the label cards as a control for little ones.For those who are a little older, there is also an option to sort fish vs. mammals.

Triangle Shark Teeth Gluing
Sunshine will glue the triangle teeth into the shark's mouth.Source: I found this idea at Crazy Speech World.
Practical Life & Sensorial
Pouring Water
Sunshine will practice pouring water, using two baby food jars. She loved scooping last week, so I thought I'd try this. She's never done it before.
Shark & Whale Sensory Bin Tweezing Activity
Sunshine will use the tweezers provided to tweeze out the sharks and whales, placing them in the cup provided.Source: The idea for the tweezing component of this activity came from Little Bins for Little Hands.
