You could print it out. You can hang it up You can do whatever you want with it. And then we have one for your children Now what's super fun about these boxes is this time around? I wanted to give a way for the younger kids to be able to participate so they can either write the words in here or in the appendix There are labels So if you have a younger kid They can use these labels that you'll find right here for each of the animals And you can just have them cut them out and then paste them so that if you have a kid who's not writing Or doesn't really want to write is maybe a reluctant writer. They can just cut and paste And every animal is set up just like this There's a research graphic organizer so they can pick a crustacean of their choice and research it further And then there are mazes In the back after you get through all of the ocean animals. We have some writing prompts. There are multiple different writing prompts on here Then we have figurative language exercises. These are ocean metaphors and similes We also have some ocean idioms Then these were those labels I was talking about in the appendix and an answer key So we have an answer key for all of those pages In addition to that you will get some other fun things like pattern block pages So there are multiples of these they come in color and black and white so that you can have Your younger kids or older kids do them at the bottom.
