Travel felt board: “Under the Sea” play set (free printable templates)

June 13, 2016 by Meg 12 Comments

Need a fabulous quiet activity for your kids? Make an ocean-themed travel felt board! This fun set is a summery addition to our classic travel felt board.

If you're traveling with kids, this travel felt board is a quick DIY craft that makes a great activity for kids stuck on a plane or in a car. It costs less than five dollars, takes less than an hour to make, and will save your sanity when you're on the go with little ones this summer!

Last month, I shared with you all a fun DIY project that’s perfect for traveling with kids this summer (or for restaurants, church, and any other time that you need your kiddos to be occupied and quiet). If you have no idea what I’m talking about, read more here.

At the same time I made the original set, I also started working on an ocean-themed travel felt board set, and I made the mistake of showing the partially finished pieces to Little Man. Every time he played with the felt board–which he has loved–he would ask me when the “fishy ones” were going to be done. Well, I finally completed it, and I’m sharing the templates with you today!

If you're traveling with kids, this travel felt board is a quick DIY craft that makes a great activity for kids stuck on a plane or in a car. It costs less than five dollars, takes less than an hour to make, and will save your sanity when you're on the go with little ones this summer!

This set includes all your favorite friendly sea creatures: fish, sea stars, jellyfish, an octopus, and the “humongous whale” (Does anyone else get the “slippery fish” song stuck in their head way too often?) along with a treasure chest and some rocks, seaweed, and coral to round out your ocean floor.

Of the three sets I’ve made so far, the ocean-themed travel felt board set is definitely my kids’ favorite. And, to be honest, it’s mine, too! There is something inviting about that octopus and his friends. We took this on our trip to Florida and Little Man enjoyed playing with it on the plane, especially since we were going to visit the ocean and see some fun sea creatures!

If you are interested in making your own “Under the Sea” ocean-themed travel felt board play set, simply click on the picture or link below and print. Cut the pieces out of your choice of felt colors, and play away!

      Thanks, Millie! I have two little boys with VERY busy hands, and this has definitely helped out on many occasions when I needed them to be occupied.

      I agree. My standard for what toys I bring into my house is whether they encourage my kids to explore, learn and/or imagine. Glad you like the felt board. 🙂

    […] If you have no idea what I’m talking about, let me bring you up to speed. Travel felt boards are a fun DIY felt board that are perfect for traveling with kids (or for restaurants, church, and any other time that you need your kiddos to be occupied and quiet). It took me less than an hour to make mine, costs next to nothing, and has entertained my kids (and the kids of friends who have borrowed it during church) for countless hours over the last year since I made it. If you don’t have your own yet, you can read more here about the basic set or you can get the “Under the sea” themed set (most popular) here. […]
