Materials required :
- Some felt and a glue gun to make the ocean playmat
- Sea animals
Make different levels to make the different ocean zones. The sunlit zone, near the ocean surface with the coral reef. The sunlit provides energy that fuels the growth of tiny organisms, the algae feed small animals that are eaten by fish. Then the twilight zone, algae that need light cannot survive so there is not much food for small animals. Bigger animals hunt each other. And finally the dark zone with the abyssal zone, the deepest part of the dark zone and includes the ocean floor. The water is dark apart from the eerie glow produced by luminous animals.
Learning while playing is the best, you can learn the name of the animals, the food chain, the ocean zones..
