Exploring the Ocean with a Hermit Crab
This project is based on the story, A House for a Hermit Crab, by Eric Carle.Before you begin the project, you will need to obtain a copy of the story book, either from the library or buy your own. Eric Carle's magnificent collage illustrations in A House for a Hermit Crab, take you and your children on a spectacular underwater tour, where brightly coloured sea creatures will delight you. This story is both entertaining and wise. Based on the true habits of certain hermit crabs, it also contains an encouraging message about the challenges of growing up, embracing new circumstances and the importance of being a good friend. Children who encounter new situations will take heart as they see, from this story, that starting over can be an exciting adventure, rather than an experience to fear. This is the description on the back cover:
“Poor Hermit Crab! He’s outgrown his snug little shell, so he finds himself a larger one – and many new friends to decorate and protect his new house. But what will happened when he outgrows this shell, and has to say good-bye to all the seas creatures who have made Hermit Crab’s house a home? Children facing change in their own lives will relate to Hermit Crab’s story - and learn a lot about the fascinating world of marine life along the way.” To order the story book from an online bookstore, use one of the following links: Amazon.com Kalahari.net (South Africa)
