Hey there, little explorer! Are you ready to dive into the ocean and discover something amazing? Let’s go on an adventure to find out what sea animal we can see today!
Look over there! Do you see something moving in the water? What could it be? Let’s take a closer look!
Wow, it’s a turtle! Turtles are super cool animals that live in the ocean. They have big, strong shells on their backs that help protect them. Isn’t that neat?
Did you know that turtles can live for many, many years? Some turtles can live to be over 100 years old! That’s a lot of birthdays!
Turtles love to swim in the ocean, and they use their flippers to move around. They are great swimmers and can travel long distances in the sea.
Next time you see a turtle, remember how special they are and how long they can live. Keep exploring and discovering more amazing sea animals!
Thanks for joining the adventure today. See you next time for more fun under the sea!
Turtle Shell Craft: Let’s make our own turtle shells! Gather some paper plates, green paint, and markers. Paint the paper plate green to represent the turtle’s shell. Once it’s dry, use markers to draw patterns on the shell. While crafting, think about how a turtle’s shell helps protect it. Can you think of other animals that have shells or protective coverings?
Flipper Race: Turtles use their flippers to swim. Let’s pretend to be turtles! Use your arms as flippers and see how fast you can move across the room. Try this with a friend and have a flipper race. How does it feel to move like a turtle? What other animals use their flippers to swim?
Long Life Exploration: Turtles can live for over 100 years! Ask your family members how old they are and compare their ages to a turtle’s age. Can you draw a timeline showing how long a turtle can live compared to you and your family? What do you think turtles do to stay healthy and live so long?
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
