Sea Sponges

Comments about Sea Sponges :

My 2nd graders are studying plants. We wet the sponges and put in pan with water, then poured wild birdseed. Each day we observed and recorded changes to our sponge gardens. When the lessons began, the kids were surprised to learn than sponges were ocean animals. Used opportunity to teach history (we used theses before we made our own), animal biology (how sponges live in the ocean) and ecology (why the real sponges are better to sprout seeds than the artificail, chemically treated ones). The kids were entranced.

Comments about Sea Sponges :

these sponges were recommended to apply gel stain..we were not successful with using with children--especially Kind thru 3rd grade. Be sure to wet first---also are very small..for price--better to use regular sponges and cut to children's hand size...basically just crumbled as children were pressing them too hard on wood project ...

The kids liked painting with the sponges. It went well with the sea theme. However, the kids didn't get to finish there 8x11 painting, because the sponges crumbled into pieces. Poor quality and very disappointing.

Nice natural sponges - no sand and they hold up well, even with repeated use in class!
