What is happening in the deepest blue of the sea? What we take for granted is a layered and complex system of levels that are always changing. Explore the 6 layers of water and earth in the Earth's oceans. Along with textured felt pieces, there are also 16 laminated labels to describe the different ocean layers and the earth beneath them. This contains 2 sets of labels for each layer so it is adaptable to a wider range of ages. The labels include: Trenches Abyss Dark (Midnight) Zone Twilight Zone Sunlit Zone Sky Continental Shelf Continental Slope Continental Rise Ocean Basin Epipelagic Zone Mesopelagic Zone Bathypelagic Zone Abyssopelagic Zone Hadopelagic Zone With paint detail and a little bit of glitter the geometric layers of ocean are whimsical and textured. This set is simple enough for preschoolers and detailed enough for use within home school or early elementary classrooms. The laminated labels can be used for memory recall or as sight words. Included: 1 felt background 13"x13" (33cmx33cm) 7 felt layers with 12 uniquely notched sides for puzzle assembly. 16 felt backed labels Play ideas: Add books on geology, the earth, the layers of the ocean, sea life or biology. Discuss the difference between different layers and types of ocean regions. Race to see who can assemble the ocean layers first Match the labels to the ocean parts. Use as part of a preschool, early elementary or home school curriculum With notched pieces this set also works as a puzzle!! Check out our other listings to see more! We also have an ever growing science series including felt board sets on geography, space and biology. Twig and Daisy felt board sets do not have adhesive or hook and loop tape on the back of the pieces. I only use soft felt and it happens to contain a little bit of magic. Felt sticks to felt even on a vertical surface which is really cool! Adding hook and loop tape will actually ruin your felt board adding picks and making it look worn well before it's time.
