Children love learning about the different creatures of the ocean.  
Expand their learning by finding more creatures to study.
All Done!
Learning about ocean creatures is
great fun!  Children love to see
the amazing differences that God
placed in his creation.  Don't
forget to take children on a
special field  trip to the aquarium
for some hands on fun!

Step 1
Cut your Styrofoam ball in half so
that it will fit flat against the table.  
We just used an old pair of scissors.
(You can purchase half circles in the
garden centers but they are a bit
more expensive)
  • Where do sea anemones live?
  • What are some special features
    of sea anemones?
  • What sorts of creatures depend
    on the Sea Anemone for shelter?
Step 2
Take your pipecleaners and wrap
them around a pen or a pencil.  
Slide them off
so they remain curled.
Step 3
Make quite a few different colored
pipe cleaner curls.  We cut ours in
half to get the correct length.
Step 4
Start to fill up your anemone by
poking the sharp end of the pipe
cleaner into the Styrofoam ball.  
Step 5
You can use all the same colors if
you like or make yourself a
creative "rainbow" anemone like
my kids did.
Once you've finished, you can glue
the anemone down to a heavy
piece of cardboard or even start
your own coral reef diorama.
