Shell Net Bag - 1kg

Bring the beach to your setting with this 1kg net bag of beautiful, natural shells – a treasure trove of textures, patterns and shapes that children love to explore. From conical spirals to smooth flats, this varied collection is perfect for adding depth to your loose parts play, under the sea early years activities, or investigation area EYFS setup.

Ideal for EYFS and Primary learning, shells are brilliant for sorting, counting, and pattern-making. They’re a natural, tactile way to encourage children to observe, ask open-ended questions, and discuss similarities and differences—key skills in the early years science curriculum and understanding the world EYFS activities.

Add them to tuff trays, small world scenes, water play or craft stations. Use them to create a beach-themed provocation, or simply invite children to handle and investigate the shapes. They're particularly great for fine motor skills development too, whether picking up, classifying, or making shell prints in playdough.

With their natural origin and tactile appeal, these shells support natural learning and give children a connection to the wider world – whether you’re exploring coastal topics or just love a good beachy aesthetic.
