    Default Sea beach project inspiration

    Hi, I'm looking to do an under the sea/seaside/beach type activity with my mindees looking at shells, starfish etc. Has anyone got any inspiration for such a theme? Thank you :-) :-)

    What a coincidence you ask a question on 'themes'
    That is the topic we discussed at EYTalking last Tuesday
    Here is the link...see what practitioners say about themes...hope it helps

    What are the ages of the children?

    Over the years we've made lots of paper plate aquariums (google it for pictures), which the children really enjoy doing.

    You can do it with a cardboard box as well. Make it a small, individual one for children to take home, or a bigger one you all do together

    I have various pieces of material that I use in early years 'drama' play.
    One set is blue sea material, rock printed and yellow which I use for sand.
    I just leave them in a basket and the children usually start the play by exploring what's in the basket - you could add some buckets and spades and sea creatures. Then I help them set it up on the living room carpet ( not a wooden floor as material tends to slide) and we act out playing at the sea side, imagining the sea to be cold/ waves coming in/ splashing, running away from waves, looking in rock pools, etc.... Sometimes I play music - you could play I do like to be beside the seaside.....
    I show them how to move the material ....the sea often comes right over us..it's lots of fun.
