Description:
Set out things found in the ocean for kids to explore, pick up, and learn. See below for a great list of table ideas (if I don’t say so myself 🙂
There is nothing better then hands on experience to facilitate learning. I can still remember Mrs. Lloyd’s magnet table that I loved playing with in second grade. The fact that I remember it 20ish years later proves it was a great teaching method.

Suggested table supplies:
Shells
- Turbins
- Conch
- Sea Urchin
- Scallop
- Clam
- Sand Dollars
- Mussel
- Abalone
- Coral
Seaweed
Sea sponge-The real Sponge Bob
Star fish-and Patrick
Shark teeth
Fish that have been preserved
Sand
Directions:
I like to start the activity by telling Ms. Tiger what everything is. I would hand each piece to her and we would talk about how each one felt, the colors we saw, and even the smell. After all the shells had been talked about, she was able to freely explore while I watched.
Don’t forget to put large shells on your ear to hear the ocean.
