Nellie's Big Splash
Details
When Nellie the sea turtle hatched, she was on a beach surrounded by lots of her brothers and sisters. Soon all the other turtles joyfully ran into the ocean and swam away, but Nellie? She was too scared. The ocean was loud, it was deep, and it was unknown. She stayed on the safe, dry sand instead. But when night starts to fall and it gets too dark and cold for a tiny little sea turtle on land, Nellie realizes that if she looked past the scary crashing waves, there's actually a whole world out there, just waiting for her to jump in.

Why We Love It
Though summer can feel fleeting in New England, we try to make the most of it! Our favorite summer selections get kids outside and interacting with the natural world - sandbox and beach tools, sprinklers and water blasters, active toys that encourage gross motor skills, workbooks to prevent that summer slump, and road trip activities that get the whole family laughing.
