I just passed the 34 weeks pregnant mark and we’ve had multiple 90+ degree days. I. am. tired. I’m not making any big fancy activities or sensory bins right now; I’m relying on simple, easy activities and fun workbook pages. This Ocean Animal Rescue Ice Cube Activity is so simple and easy, but so entertaining for the kids!

This activity takes just a couple of items:
Amazon is definitely the easiest place to get small plastic animals, but you can also check your local dollar store. I got my ice cube tray from Target, but the price is a lot cheaper on Amazon.
Add an ocean animal to each ice cube section. If you get an ice cube tray with big sections, you might even be able to add 2 animals to each cube section.
Fill 3/4 of the way with water. Freeze for 24 hours or until completely frozen. I don’t know exactly how long they take to freeze; I just make this ocean rescue activity the day before I plan on using it.
Remove the ice cube tray from the freezer and pop the ice cubes out of the tray. Take them outside or put them in a bin. Give your child the hammer or other tools and let him or her go to town attempting to break the ice and rescue the ocean animals.
After all the animals are rescued, let your child play with the ocean animals.
