Activity summary

At this activity station, children dip their hand into the box and pull out a card. They use the sea creature cards as a creative prompt and make the shape of the creature with their bodies. This station is one of seven in our Sensational Seas series that are perfect for setting up for drop-off time or after lunch to scaffold child-centred exploration and learning.
