Description
Do you know where shells come from? Animals like mollusks make them. Mollusks have an outermost layer of tissue on their bodies called the mantle. This layer connects the animal to its shell and it also creates that shell. As the animal grows, its shell must grow along with it. This happens along the outer edges. A snail adds to its shell around the opening, where it pokes its head out. For a clam or mussel, it’s the outer edges where the two shells separate. The result is growth rings, like those in a tree, that allow the mollusk’s age to be measured. In this activity the participant will use seashells to create a piece of art while learning about shell types!

As a teacher, I am always looking for fun, simple, hands-on activities for my students. Connectivities was the perfect fit! Our class of 10 was able to split into two small groups to complete a few Connectivities projects. The students loved it! The directions were easy to follow, and the activities were fun to complete. As a teacher, I loved having easy to read directions, with a video option. Students were able to connect and socialize with each other while completing the activity. The playlist was a fun bonus too! We are looking forward to completing more Connectivities activities in the classroom.

“Please keep making these! They are fantastic, and the therapy goals really make a difference. It reminds me a lot of Montessori dementia care philosophy, learning new skills and meeting goals.” So fun and easy to unbox! Residents have really enjoyed the activities. They have learned new things and have felt proud of themselves and had
fun!
