Save the Sea Turtles: Poster

Did you know that World Sea Turtle Day is celebrated on the 16th of June every year? It's a day to raise awareness of the importance of these amazing marine animals and their plight against ocean plastics pollution. Plastic pollution continues to be one of the major threats to the sea turtle and it is said that one out of two have ingested plastic.

Printable & Activity Objectives

The pattern on the printable is inspired by "stained" glass, traditionally used in churches to allow the light to pass in and illuminate the church. In this case, we want to inspired our future generation about the importance of ocean conservation by symbolically bringing light into this matter.

• Develop a greater sense of responsibility to nature and those that depend on it. It's never too early to teach kids about the importance of conservation.
