Young learners will dive into the wonderful world of sea turtles as they meet different members of the sea turtle family and discover how each turtle can look unique! Through colors, sizes, and shell patterns, children will explore the similarities and differences between sea turtles while practicing observation skills and kindness toward animals.
During the program, students will meet Tina the Turtle, a sea turtle who is not feeling well. Together, children will help care for Tina by making gentle and thoughtful choices to support her recovery. This interactive virtual experience encourages empathy, movement, discussion, and early ocean exploration in a fun and age-appropriate way.
