Girls will discover fascinating fun facts about the horseshoe crab-a
prehistoric marvel that has been roaming Earth's shores for over 450
million years. They'll learn why these gentle creatures are so
important to our ecosystems, how they help other wildlife thrive, and
the surprising ways they benefit humans, too!
After
exploring their unique anatomy, incredible survival skills, and
special role in the ocean community, girls will get creative with a
paint-and-decorate session where they design their very own artistic
horseshoe crab. Using bright colors, patterns, and plenty of
imagination, each participant will transform a model horseshoe crab
into a personal keepsake.
Every girl will head home with
a beautifully decorated horseshoe crab and a head full of
unforgettable ocean knowledge.
