Aquatic Counters

Well made, bright, colorful manipulatives that are engaging. I use in my preschool classroom, and they wash up well after use.

I purchased these to put inside a plastic box with Pluffle. I buried them in the Pluffle and he searches for the aquatic animals. They are super detailed and have a lot of different types of animals. There's a good variety of colors. We also uses these to teach him patterns and sorting by colors. Great quality product.

I love these soft silicon rubber sea life manipulative collection. The tail of the seahorse can be uncurled and springs back. Used in many ways for monthlong theme - color sorting, creature sorting, in squishy bags on light table, with play dough to press in a sea scene or add to an underwater 'coral reef'. Students ages 2-4 loved these.

These are colorful and have a pleasant feel. But aquatic mammals have horizontal tails; fish have vertical tails; and there are interesting evolutionary reasons for this. It may seem like a quibble to some, but 3 of these 14 shapes are wrong, we can't use them in our schools, I'm throwing them out.

My students used these for imaginative play, graphing, compare and contrast, story telling, and in the water table. They hold their bright colors and they're easy to grip, but too big for tiny mouths to swallow. (I teach 3-4's)
