Explore this book →Fun facts about the real seahorse
- Seahorses are fish, even though they swim upright.
- Seahorse dads carry the eggs in a pouch until the babies hatch.
- Seahorses hold on to seaweed with their curly tails so they don't drift away.
Draw your seahorse, then add one of these facts in a speech bubble or on the back of the page.
Draw it, then write about it
Give your cute seahorse a name. Where does it live, and what does it love to do? Write two or three sentences.
Print a draw-and-write sheet: a box for the drawing and lines for the story. Primary lines (K–2) · Regular lines (grades 2–5)
For teachers: grade, timing and standards
