Spring is here and the rockpools are calling! Whether you're heading to the beach, joining us at the Museum for our family Shore Safari rockpool events in May Half Term, or looking for gifts for young ocean explorers, we've got you covered.
Scrunch Bucket
The original Scrunch bucket rolls, folds and squishes into nothing then springs back to life ready for sandcastle building or rockpool rescues.
Make Your Own Sailboat Kit
Attach the sail, mast and rudder to a floating object and you've got your own miniature sailboat. Comes with a 10-metre leash so it doesn't drift off. A brilliant beachside build for curious young minds.
PlanToys Sea Life Set
Four ocean friends made from reclaimed rubberwood with organic pigments. Sustainable, beautiful, and perfect for storytelling play at the beach.
Keeleco Plush Starfish
The softest, squishiest rockpool companion around and made from recycled plastic waste.
Ocean Memory Game
These pairs of marine animal cards are a brilliant way to sneak in some sea creature education while convincing everyone you're just playing a game. Sharpen memory skills and spark conversations about life beneath the waves.
Seaweed Press Kit
Press and preserve the beautiful seaweeds you find at the beach. This kit includes waxed paper to protect your work and illustrated instructions.
Seashore Sounds Book
Ten beautiful seaside sounds in a richly illustrated interactive book, for ages 2–5.
Join us in the rockpool this May half term!
We've got rockpool-themed events planned throughout the May half term holidays at the National Maritime Museum Cornwall perfect for families who want to discover the creatures that live on our shores.
