On the way, look for…

Tick each one when you spot it.

  • Wiggle your arms like an octopus for ten steps with Tilly the sea turtle
  • Walk sideways like a crab for ten steps with Pebble the hermit crab
  • Find a leaf shaped like a fish with Wobble the jellyfish
  • Spot something round, like a pearl with Splash the dolphin
  • Spot some long grass swaying like seaweed with Grandpa Rumble the whale
  • Spot a leaf with pointy tips, like a starfish with Nibble the parrotfish

Draw or stick a leaf you found here

Make a mask

Ask a grown-up to cut along the dotted line and snip out the eyes. Make the two side holes and tie on some string or elastic.
