As we enjoy the beauty of the seaside, it’s important to teach little ones about the care and kindness our coasts need. Through play, we can introduce simple conservation ideas that make a big impact.
Why Coastal Conservation Matters
The coast is under threat from:
- Plastic Pollution: Harmful waste endangers marine animals and habitats.
- Erosion: Changing shorelines impact both wildlife and communities.
- Wildlife Disruption: Protecting creatures like seals, birds, and crabs ensures their survival.
Making a Difference Through Play
Inspire care for the coast with these fun ideas:
- Beach Clean-Ups: Turn tidying the beach into a treasure hunt with gloves and a bucket.
- Recycling Crafts: Use bottle caps, old paper, or jars to create sea-inspired art.
- Conservation Stories: Share books about the ocean, like The Rainbow Fish, to inspire empathy for marine life.
A Shared Responsibility
At Cub & Bear, we believe small actions can spark big changes. Teaching little ones about looking after nature through play ensures they grow up with an understanding of its importance.
