In a memorable learning experience, the children engaged in creating marine animal habitats using various loose parts such as crepe papers, twigs, pipe cleaners, marine animal figurines, and leaves. They enthusiastically discussed and imagined scenarios where the fishes could hide from predators, emphasizing the importance of a safe environment.
They also expressed how fishes feel happy and comfortable in well-designed habitats. Through this activity, the children learned several valuable lessons.
They developed an understanding of the needs of marine animals and the significance of preserving their habitats. By constructing habitats, they explored concepts of shelter and protection, fostering empathy towards marine life. They also practiced creative thinking and collaboration as they worked together to design and build their habitats. They were inspired to take responsibility for caring for the environment, starting with creating safe and sustainable habitats for marine animals in their imaginative play.
