What do COCKLES look like? Where do they live? Which benefits do cockles provide to the society? 

These are some of the questions we discussed with kids (9-12 years old) of Carrasqueira School (Vigo, Galicia (Spain)) last week. With the littles one (3 to 5 years old) we had a lot of fun picking cockles from tricky sand trays and making colourful cockles butterflies.
