What you need

The ocean picture search page or a full sheet of paper, plus large child-appropriate crayons.

Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.

Let's make it happen

  1. Open and print the page, or draw three fish, two turtles, and one starfish scattered across a sheet.
  2. Ask your child to find all the fish, pointing to each one as you count together.
  3. Search for the turtles and starfish, then compare which group has more.

Adult stays beside the child and helps draw recognizable shapes if needed.
