DP33 Shell Collection & Matching Cards
$24.00
Shell Collections and Matching Cards, Complete Set. The 22 shells in this collection, some common and some rare, were selected to be used in later animal classification. They come from all over the world in an amazing variety of shapes and textures.
The work or "cosmic task" of the mollusk is to remove the poisonous substance, calcium carbonate, from the seas and use it in the construction of its home-a gift to the mollusk and to the world. As each beautiful shell is built the purity of the ocean is maintained. Older children love to hear this story. We try very hard to purchase shells from people who have used them as a necessary food source. The shell cards were drawn to match these particular shells, one each of 22 pictures, 4" x 5.5", cardstock.
