Ocean Theme Eco Kids Planet Activities


Celebrate World Oceans Week with these free downloadable activities from the previous issues of Eco Kids Planet magazine: 

  1. Make Your Own Great White Shark  

    The world's seas and oceans are full of amazing marvels. At the last count, scientists reckoned there were some 230,000 species living in the sea – perhaps as much as four-fifths of all life on Earth. The magnificent great white shark can grow 6-8m long – almost as long a London bus, and is the largest fish predator on the planet!
