That's not my shark... and SEA LIFE Play Planner
If you’ve visited your local SEA LIFE Centre or read That’s not my shark… the fun has only just begun. It’s time to READ, PLAY AND LEARN with the SEA LIFE Play Planner!
This Play Planner is best enjoyed with your baby, toddler or pre-schooler before or after visiting a SEA LIFE Centre or reading That’s not my shark…, so that they can continue to learn about sharks and other ocean creatures through PLAY – all from the comfort of your own home.
The Play Cards included are bursting with ideas that will encourage little ones to be curious about the ocean and the creatures that live there. Expect to find sensory activities that will help to develop early literacy, communication, fine and gross motor skills, problem-solving and imagination, all while helping children explore the world around them – and having lots of fun along the way!
Every child is different and develops at their own pace, so adapt these ideas as best suits you and your child. Children should always be supervised by an adult.
