Smile Natural Sponge & Loofahs

Natural Sea Sponge - Image Search

Nature's structural remains !! Sea sponges, snail shells, fossils and other archeaological tools are a great way for the children to see what was and indeed how it was / used to be .. above ground and in the sea.

Endangered, threatened, protected - Sea sponges are animals & this article from Environmental Issues has a great deal of information - NHM - Natural History Museum

Artificial man made alternative foam or Cellulose sponges

Loofahs - Image search and Grow your own !!! Search for seeds ..

Associated with Bath time these, grown, washed & dried plants are great for adding to the water tray, sink and / or soap activities
