What gives light?
Baby turtles follow the glow of the sea to find their way. Some things make light on their own, like the sun and a flashlight. Others don't shine at all!
- 3
How many sides?
The turtle's shell is made of little pieces with six sides, called hexagons. Every shape has a number of sides: count the straight lines!
- 4
Tiny or huge
One little word changes the size! A tiny fish is really small and a huge fish is really big. Listen and find the right words.
- 5
One or many?
One turtle, two turtles! When there is more than one, the word changes at the end and gets an S. Look how many animals there are and read carefully.
- 6
Complete the shell
The turtle's shell has a pattern that repeats, row by row. Figure out the pattern's rule and find the missing piece.
- 7
Louder or softer?
The wave comes in softly and gets louder. Then it goes away and the sound fades little by little. Listen: does the sound get louder, softer or stay the same?
- 8
Everyone at their own pace
The turtle does everything slowly and still gets there! Everyone has their own way and their own pace. Respecting other people's pace is being a good friend.
5 and 6 year olds
Bigger challenges and the party that reviews everything the child learned.

Eggs in rows
When things are lined up in rows, counting gets easy: count one row and then the others, which have the same amount.
- 10
Whole, half or quarter
The turtle cut the seaweed cake into equal parts. Whole is all of it, half is one of two parts and a quarter is one of four parts.
- 11
Add the dice
On the island, the turtles play with dice. Look at the dots on each die, put them all together and find out how many spaces to move.
- 12
Turtle party
Region party
The babies made it to the sea and the whole island celebrated! Let's remember everything you discovered with the turtle.
- 13

Region party
A turtle might think a plastic bag is food! Take all the trash off the beach and leave nature's things where they are.

Trace the shell
Region party
Many-sided shapes and the turtle's round shell. Start at the dot and trace all the way back to the start, nice and slow.
