Episode 4: How does the ocean move?
Kids learn that the ocean never stops moving and find out how ocean animals ride and glide on currents to get from place to place. Then it’s time to wiggle and drift like a jelly, going with the flow, not against it.

This episode is designed for kids ages two to six and pairs perfectly with water play.
- Watch together and practice drifting like a jelly, letting your arms and body flow gently.
- At bath time or the sink, help your child make small waves with their hand and watch how the water keeps moving.
- Visiting the beach? Sit on the sand together and notice how the waves roll in and out.
While you play, talk about what you see: Is the water moving up and down like a wave, or flowing in one direction like a current?
