You Will Need:
Tub of sudsy water
scrub brush or old tooth brush and a
towel
sponge
Directions:
Place the tub of sudsy water where your child can reach it easily and water will not be a problem. Give your child a scrub brush and a basket of seashells. “I need your help cleaning these shells so we can put them on our shelves to look decorative. Look at all the different sizes, colors and types. I wonder what kind of animal made this shell? Does it change color when you clean it?” Www.seashells.org is a good internet site to research names and types of shells. You may want to chart the sizes, types or colors of shells. You will need paper and a pen or marker for this.
Tip:
Your child will probably get wet and splash water. Wear an apron or play clothes.
