Today we made our own tide pools! Authentic Oregon beach sand was put into one of the pools and tropical aquarium gravel was put in the other. A variety of real shells, coral, and plastic sea life were added to the pools for the kids to examine and play with. The activity generated much conversation about the children’s real life beach experiences. The tide pools are a great extension of our sand and water unit.
