Super Mario Learning Activities

It’s a little funny to me that the Super Mario Bros. movie has been such a huge hit, since I was a kid when the video games first came out. But if you’ve got a kiddo (or a classroom) that’s into these fun characters, now would be a great time to introduce some Super Mario learning activities.

Blooming Brilliant has a great collection of Mario related printable learning activities she made for her son when he was 6. This set includes everything from prewriting and handwriting practice to cutting, coloring, math, matching, I spy and more. Best yet, you can download the whole pack for free when you sign up for her emails.

TotSchooling has a great collection of printable Mario character color by number worksheets, where the pictures emerge as you color in the pixels of the grid.

Rock Your Homeschool has another set of Super Mario learning activities, including printable bookmarks, line tracing, mazes, an I-spy and a graph based on that game.

Grab some Mario coloring pages from Activity Mom, or 15 Mario-themed writing prompts for kids from And Next Comes L. Paper Trail Design has another printable I-spy page, and don’t miss the Super Mario cootie catcher download from Rock Your Homeschool.

Did you know there’s actually a Mario Day? I didn’t know until just now! Apparently, it’s March 10, which is Mario’s birthday. Learn more Mario related trivia and get some ideas for your own Mario Day celebration any time of year from Homeschool Super Freak.

And of course, a celebration needs some crafts if you ask me, so be sure to check out these Mario Day craft ideas collected by Artsy Craftsy Mom. There’s an awesome board game, a printable 3-D garland, and this cool knock ’em down game from Instructables, which might remind parents of a certain age of another throwback game we used to play!

Whenever you go to the beach with kids, you’re sure to come home with some seashells and more than a little sand. Let’s use some of those treasures to make fun crafts.

This handprint craft is made with a sand-infused salt dough and some little shells from the beach. It’s a cute way to remember how little your kids were on that beach trip. Find the instructions at From Under a Palm Tree.

Here’s another take on sand dough that was used to make little ornaments and sculptures. Get the details from Pink Stripey Socks.

Moms and Crafters used air dry clay and seashells to make these cute necklaces. She used the storebought clay but you can also make your own air dry clay if you’d rather.

Crafts on Sea used a shell to make a whale, but I’m sure you could take this idea and make lots of different creatures. I love the idea of sea creatures made with shells like fish or a jellyfish or an octopus using the same method. They also have a seashell decoration made with salt dough that’s really cute and would be fun for kids to paint. Poke a hole before it dries for hanging if you want.

Or take a bunch of little shells and decorate a frame like these from Rhythms of Play. They used a handprint instead of a picture but you could also put in a picture from the beach trip.

This is probably one for the mamas to make because it uses epoxy, but I also wanted to share these cute and easy shell hair pins from Thrifty Mama Ramblings, which kids are sure to want for their mermaid pretend play.

Or how about some sensory play straight from the beach? Use store bought sand if you don’t have a beach nearby to make this beach sand slime from The Mama Notes. Thrown in some shells and kids will love playing with this one.
