Creating a preschool whale art craft is a fun and engaging activity that allows children to explore their creativity while learning about these magnificent creatures.
We’re starting a mini-unit on Whales this week. To kick off the unit, we did a sweet Preschool Whale Art Craft!

Creating a preschool whale art craft allows children to explore their creativity, develop fine motor skills, and learn about marine life. It provides an opportunity for self-expression, imagination, and sensory engagement.
The finished artwork serves as a visual reminder of their creativity and can be cherished as a keepsake or shared with parents and caregivers.
