DP33J Shells with Matching Cards
The shells in this unique collection of 20+ beautiful shells and 20+ matching drawings were created for the primary or age 3-6 class, but were selected with the study of zoology in the Montessori 6-12 class in mind. It is very important that the pictures are in black in white, so the child will look carefully at the construction of each shell - NOT color matching. This is also important since many shells come in a variety of colors. Drawings by Susan Mayclin Stephenson. 4.25" x 5.5" white cardstock.
