The Mixed Mini Seashells set (900pcs) (3years+)

The Mixed Mini Seashells set offers a rich, hands-on experience that connects children with the natural world, encouraging curiosity, creativity, and sensory exploration. This versatile resource includes a variety of real mini seashells in different shapes, sizes, textures, and colours, perfect for sorting, classifying, art, and nature-inspired play.

Aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), this open-ended resource supports key learning outcomes:

• Outcome 2: Children are connected with and contribute to their world
  Using natural materials like seashells fosters a sense of environmental awareness and appreciation for the world around them. Children begin to understand the beauty and diversity of nature through play.

• Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners
  Seashells promote inquiry, experimentation, and problem-solving as children compare textures, count, sort, pattern, and build with them, developing fine motor skills and early mathematical concepts.

• Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators
  As children engage in creative storytelling or art projects using shells, they express ideas, emotions, and meanings through multiple forms of communication, such as visual arts and oral storytelling.

These seashells are ideal for inclusive settings, allowing every child, regardless of ability, to participate meaningfully. Children with sensory needs benefit from the tactile experience, while visual and kinaesthetic learners thrive through hands-on engagement. Educators can scaffold learning by adapting activities for various developmental stages and abilities, making the resource suitable for all children, including those with additional learning needs.

Perfect for nature tables, sensory trays, loose parts play, and art exploration, Mixed Mini Seashells are a sustainable and inclusive resource that enriches early years environments in alignment with the EYLF and inclusive education practices.
