Sharks and Dinosaurs, Dinos and Sharks - that's pretty much the mantra around here with Peter and Joseph. Peter knows the exact location of shark books at the library and I think we've checked out every single one of them.
My favorite part of homeschooling the youngest learners is their sweet desire for knowledge. Everything is new and exciting. One simple book leads to questions which leads to a quick Google search for coloring and activity pages.
The book that started it all
We have nearly the entire set of Cat in the Hat's Learning Library.
Thanks to that collection, last summer we focused on butterflies and frogs.
My kids love coloring while I read, so I'll print off a pile of theme pictures and while I read a stack of books, they'll color.
Books We Read About Sharks
Links to favorite shark coloring pages
Get Coloring Pages (huge variety of scary and smiley sharks)
Super Coloring (print or "color" online)
After all the listening and coloring it was time for something a little more active. I found this Flipping Fins Shark game. It teaches left and right and worked for all ages. Basically you toss a shark and earn points based on how it lands.
Other fun stuff:
(this is for an Easter basket)
(favorite larger size sharks for tub play)
This Shark Unit Study was so short and simple, yet effectively informed my three youngest about the many different species of sharks, how they use their 6 senses, and kept the kids yearning for more shark info the next day.
