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.
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!
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!

this under the sea travel felt board is adorably fun 🙂 great way to keep busy hands occupied!
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.
This is such a great idea. Felt play is amazing. Such a fun way for the kids to use thier imagination.
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. 🙂
This is so fun! I love that you included templates, that is so great!
I need one of these stashed in my mom purse for doctor appts or out at a restaurant. LOVE this idea!

Thanks, Deanna. I’m honored that you picked me as your feature this week! Hopefully, these templates will be as useful to other moms as the felt board has been for me. 🙂
