Color Changing Seahorses: Let’s explore how seahorses change colors! Gather some colored paper or crayons. Draw a seahorse and color it in your favorite color. Now, imagine your seahorse is hiding in a coral reef. What colors would it need to change to blend in? Color your seahorse again to match the coral reef. Discuss with a friend or family member why seahorses might need to change colors.
Seahorse Movement Game: Seahorses swim upright, unlike most fish. Let’s play a game to practice this! Stand up and pretend to be a seahorse. Try moving around the room while keeping your body upright. Can you balance something small, like a beanbag or a soft toy, on your head while you move? This will help you understand how seahorses swim differently from other fish.
Seahorse Observation Adventure: Next time you visit an aquarium or watch a video about the ocean, look for seahorses. Observe how they use their tails to hold onto plants. Can you find other animals that use their tails in interesting ways? Share your observations with your class or family. This will help you notice how different animals adapt to their environments.
