This is a wonderful sensory craft for preschoolers. You can add all kinds of small trinkets and toys to the wavemaker. This is a wonderful illustration to preschoolers and young learners of how the ocean works. You can use it to explain floating and sinking as well.This is also a great kids craft for a unit study on the ocean.

• Food Coloring (blue and green or colors of your choice)
• Vegetable Oil, colorless
• Water
•  Glitter or Metallic Confetti or small Trinkets (optional)

Directions:
