World Oceans Day Crafts and Activities for Kids

“I spent uncounted hours sitting at the bow looking at the water and the sky, studying each wave, different from the last, seeing how it caught the light, the air, the wind; watching patterns, the sweep of it all, and letting it take me.” ~ Gary Paulsen

Every June 8th is a day used by the United Nations to stimulate worldwide awareness of issues faced by the oceans of the world, to encourage people to use the oceans resources in a sustainable way and to remind us all of the impact our choices have on the oceans and ocean wildlife.
