Awesome!
Very surprised with the variety you receive (from the size of a fingernail to the size of a half dollar piece). Not many pieces were broken so thats a definite plus. Also, can't beat the price for the amount you get. Most craft stores sell 10 to 20 shells for $4.99 so this is absolutely a great deal...!

Needs to be shipped differently
I was pretty disappointed to find that many of the shells were broken. They were shipped to me in a padded envelope. Perhaps if I had a bigger order and received them in a box more would have survived the shipping process. The price was decent, but for the amount that were still intact, I would have... been better off paying a few extra dollars to get them from my local craft store.

I bought these for a mermaid-themed project with 12 kindergartners, and they were just great. Not too fragile, lots of variety in shape and size, and plenty of shells for this project.

Very Nice Mixture

We ordered 2 lbs. of the small size shells. I was expecting there would be many tiny, common, uninteresting shells. But this mixture was better than expected. The shells range in size from tiny to some that are 1-1.5 inches long. The shapes are a good variety too, not just a lot of small clam or cockleshells. All are clean and only a few broke during shipping. We are very happy with these shells for our craft programs. These 2 lbs. of shells fit well in a container orig. used for 1.5 lbs. of snack mix.

Kids love seashells, they play with them, and they decorate with them. Most of the time they are indestructable.

A little too big

The shells were lovely, but many of them were slightly too big for the project I wanted to do. I was gluing them onto treasure boxes and small blocks of wood. I personally would have liked them all to be very small shells. So in actuality there is nothing wrong with them, just not all quite the size I wanted.
