Circle Hunt Under the Sea!

A fun shape-hunting activity for young learners
Dive beneath the waves and let children discover circles hiding throughout this fun Under the Sea Circle Hunt!
Children explore a detailed underwater picture and carefully search for all the circles they can find. Once they spot one, they colour it in! With friendly sea creatures and plenty of underwater details to investigate, this activity turns shape recognition into an exciting visual treasure hunt.

Observation skills – carefully scan a busy picture to find hidden shapes
