Aquarium of the Pacific

Slippery to Prickly
This Aqua Tots program focuses on one of our senses, the sense of touch. Students involved in this interactive program will investigate how different ocean organisms feel as well as discovering how important touch is to the animals that live in the sea. This class engages the student’s sense of touch by lots of animal artifact exploring, as well as a many live animals for the students to touch and compare textures. Students will create a texture rich book about their Aquarium experience.

Aqua Tots are a series of programs developed for two to three-year-olds with their parent or adult chaperone. Because this class is specifically designed for two to three year olds, any younger or older siblings of the child should stay at home and cannot be admitted to the class. These programs give students a first look into ocean life while allowing for adult/child interaction. Each Aqua Tot Program focuses on a particular concept and expands upon that concept during the class.  Because of the length of the class, programs do not include a snack time.
