This mat is designed to engage children in thinking about size. Ideal for use after a trip to the beach.

How many shells can you fit into the rockpool? Does it matter what type of shells they are? How many big shells can you fit? How many smaller ones? Does it matter what shape the shells are?

Great for use alongside reading ‘Sharing a Shell’!
