Guest Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 earlyyearsresources.co.uk have an offer on a big mermaid at the moment, if you click on the picture of it on the home page it also comes up with various other resources that you could look at for inspiration. samfrostie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondie Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 could also bring in rainbow fish stories - they are always popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittycat1279 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I love using Commotion in the Ocean - lovely pictures and rhymes. I also agree with blondie about using Rainbow Fish stories - great for PSE. Wax crayon / oil pastel colour wash pictures are always a great hit. Making jellyfish puppets by using paper cups as the body with a hole in the base to thread a handle through then children can be free to stick anything to dangle from inside of the cup for all the tentacles (if that's what they're called). Use the Aquarium music from Carnival of the Animals for some great dance especially is you give the children some scarves or streamers. I'll let you know if I think of anything else. We had a whole school underwater topic a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyday Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I was also going to suggest 'Commotion in the Ocean' but someone beat me to it! The other 'underwater' book that my children always enjoy is 'Fidgety Fish'. We have had all of our 'tiny' sea creatures frozen in blocks of ice today - always popular. sunnyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) Sharing a shell, and Tiddler are excellent and I just remembered we used to have a blue shower curtain from B&Q which had fishes on it - was great for making a den over the clothes horse and pretending to be under the sea. Would they enjoy listening to whale-song on CD? Edited March 23, 2009 by Cait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
