Description

Did you know, the Horseshoe Crab is a living dinosaur?

The Life Cycle of the Horseshoe Crab: Objects is a series of 4 figurines describing the four life stages of this Arthropod. They have been around for more than 300 million years, making them older than dinosaurs.  Looking like prehistoric crabs, these hard-shelled creatures are closely related to scorpions, and spiders.  As omnivorous scavengers, they feed on mollusks, worms, dead fish, and algae, making them the “street sweepers” of the ocean bed. These objects form an integral part of the Montessori teaching, providing a tangible learning resource for the Child.
