About this set

Ten sea creatures — dolphin, octopus, sea turtle, seahorse, starfish, crab, whale, jellyfish, clownfish and shark. The curly tentacles and shells give children plenty of detail to color, and the set works well alongside a book about the sea. Sort the animals as you go: which ones are fish, and which are not (dolphins and whales breathe air).

Sneak in some phonics

Crab, fish and shell hide three useful patterns: a consonant blend (cr), a digraph (sh) and a doubled letter (ll). Write each word, say it slowly, and let your child underline the part that makes the sound.
