This activity came to me out of sheer desperation to find something that would entertain my 8 month old after dinner :) ! I had a large canister of seashells on our dining table as decoration for the summer months, and started to hand him one at a time to see what he would do...
He sweetly touched the first one and inspected it...
And did the same with the next one, and the next one too!
I showed him how to hold the shells gently and how to touch them to feel a texture. I even held them up to his ear to hear the ocean!
We started this activity about three weeks ago, and he still enjoys it almost daily. It's a great way to calm little hands and minds in the evening!
