This activity needed  "preteaching", to show them how to play with shells without breaking them. I showed them how to be careful and handle the shells gently.

The kids discovered on their own how a big shell can be filled with small shells and "poured". We discussed the different textures. I love to incorporate vocabulary; rough, smooth, shiny, bumpy, spiky, etc. We also talked about which were the same and which were different. I thought the shells were great for language and discovery. I was impressed that they knew some of the names of different types of shells from a Blue's Clue's video. ( I didn't remember.) We ended up watching it later in the day, and I paid more attention!
