Whale Wonders
Encourage imaginations and empathy for living things large and small. Whales intrigue humans because both species are warm-blooded and nurse our young.
1. Did you know that whales live in every ocean of the world? Imagine what whales think about as they swim. Such large animals spend a lot of time finding something to eat. To get enough food, some whales suck in seawater and then spit it out, which traps food such as plankton.
2. Scientists think whales communicate by coming out of the water (breaching) and slapping the surface with their tails, as well as by making noises underwater.
3. With Crayola® Crayons and Crayola Metallic FX Crayons, draw a swimming whale. Is your whale searching for food? Communicating with other whales? Traveling to cleaner water? What other sea plants and animals live around your whale?
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
