During this time of staying indoors and spending more time with family, you’re probably looking for ways to keep the kids entertained. Typically, an activity is either educational (and boring) or fun (and mindless). When you find an activity that’s both fun and educational, it’s a win-win.
Educational Activity for Kids
These printable seashell identification flashcards are the perfect way to keep your kids curious about learning — and they’re fun! There are hundreds of thousands of marine creatures that make shells, and each one is unique. So don’t let the inability to travel to the beach get in the way of learning about marine life. Bring the beach into your home with these flashcards!
On one side is a picture of a seashell. On the flip side is the animal’s scientific name, class, average size, and a fun fact. Once your kids master these common seashells, they’ll be able to easily identify these sandy treasures on your next beach vacation.
But First! Get Ready to Explore
All explorers need to be prepared. When you head out into the sun, don’t forget to protect your skin with some UV-fighting sunscreen. Keep your eyes happy with some stylish sunglasses; bonus points if you use polarized sunglasses because they will help you see the shells easier than non-polarized glasses. Bring a bucket to store your shell discoveries, a shovel to dig around to find those hidden shells, and don’t forget the printable shell scavenger hunt card and identification cards.
