My favorite book is A House for Hermit Crab, by Eric Carle. This activity grabs their attention immediately and sets the tone for the entire unit.
Here are a few activities that we did in our classroom!
After reading the story the boys and girls created this hermit crab using a paper plate and reproducibles from the Ocean Literacy Unit. First they water painted the plate and wrote the title of the story and their name on the inside. Then I asked them to place the animals on his shell as they appeared in the story.
We reviewed the story using role playing cards and the real creatures below. They loved having something to hold in their hands while we read the book.
