Eighteen sea animals in full color, three across and six down, each with three names to tick. A narwhal, a pufferfish, a hermit crab, a stingray, a walrus, an orca, a sea otter, a lobster, a clownfish, a sea urchin, a manatee, a squid, a jellyfish, an anglerfish, a sea turtle, a scallop, an eel and a beluga.
The wrong answers are the reason this works. Number one offers beluga, narwhal and orca, all three of which are whales and two of which are white. Number twelve offers octopus, jellyfish and squid. Number ten offers starfish, urchin and anemone. A child cannot get through it on the first letter or a vague impression; they have to know which one is which.
The paintings are detailed enough to actually decide from. The anglerfish has its lure, the hermit crab is wearing a shell rather than being a crab, and the manatee and the walrus are drawn far enough apart that the difference is findable.
It works as a warm-up before an ocean unit and again as the closing check afterward, and it is the sheet in this set that adults tend to get one or two wrong on.
