Procedure: 
  1. Place materials in a shallow tray.
  2. Give children a brief demonstration and explanation of how to use the materials to clean the sea shells. Be sure to explain the purpose of this activity which is to strengthen fine-motor skills, practice their practical life skills, and explore different textures and colors through their sense of touch.
  3. Place the tray with contents on an appropriate shelf in your classroom for students to use independently. 
Assessment:
