The foamy wave recedes into the blue depths of the sea, leaving behind treasures for children to find. Striped, flat, speckled, bulbous, or even cracked – shells draw the eye and stoke the imagination. Let’s take an imaginary trip to the beach, play in the sand, study the tides, and identify shells! Get ready to pack your bags!
All of the Montessori activities in this beachy theme use simple, crafty materials you likely have around the house. Plus, you’ll be relieved to find the done-for-you printable materials inside the packet: just print, cut and start teaching!
“The slow unraveling of the story of shells through sensory and observation works was perfectly curated.” – Laura
“My son and I did the Pack Your Bags activity today and it was a huge success! He’s 2.5 years old and is in a “putting things in bags” phase so the activity was right up his alley.” – Rachel
“My son was way more into it than I would have anticipated. A few of our highlights: being inspired to draw spirals (including this handsome snail that is by far the clearest figure my son has ever drawn), and getting really into still life drawing (will definitely make a point of setting this up again)…” – Cecily
“We really enjoyed making the miso soup! My daughters were very interested in the kombu seaweed and loved touching its sliminess.” – Sarah L.
“🐚Tried the Shell grammar activity today, our very first try at grammar. The 6yo loves all of these cut-out activities, and he picked up on the color-coding of the words and symbols right away.” – Sarah J.
Enjoy shell-related activities sure to please your kids, including experimenting with wet and dry sand, matching shells, playing with adjectives, and more. Over 55 pages of printables, visual directions, a monthly pacing guide, materials lists, book recommendations, and more.

Dayna –
It was interesting to see that my son picked up on the shell shapes as we read about them and found them in every day life after that. I love the book recommendations. Books I would never think to check out of the library on my own!

We used this to prepare for and process a beach vacation! Such a lovely way to incorporate education into events happening in our life!!
Cecily –
We loved this theme, and were inspired to get into a bit of an ocean life study with extra books to complement all the shell theme activities. Also I was amazed by the focus and detail my child brought to the still life art activity; I would not have guessed he’d be so into it!
Sal Berns –
This theme is such a blast! My 3-year old loved all the shell sorting, sensory work, and learning about who lives in shells!
