Instructions
1. Prepare the shells ahead of time by scrubbing them and drilling a hole at the base of each one.
2. Show a scallop shell with both halves attached. Read about shellfish and show pictures, explaining how an animal once lived inside the shell.
3. Demonstrate the easy way to draw a star with the white glue: first make a cross, then an X on top of the cross. Let the children draw their stars with the glue on the concave side of the shell.
