Melissa and Doug Taffy Sea Turtles Catch & Hatch Pool Toy
Each plastic egg in this sweet pool-play set fits one baby turtle inside. Toss them in the pool, then gather them up to "hatch" an exciting variety of swimming, racing, sequencing and sorting games!Extension Activities: More Ways to Play and Learn:BACK TO THE NEST! (2-5 players) 1. Take the turtles out of their shells and toss them into the pool. Divide the empty eggshells among the other players (two players get five shells each; three players get three shells; four to five players get two shells). Each player places the eggshells in a different place beside the pool. Choose another spot to be the "nest" - the spot where the eggs go once they are filled. 2. On the count of three, the players race to collect turtles from the bottom of the pool, put them in eggshells (one turtle per egg), and place them in the nest. The first player to have all his/her eggshells filled and closed is the winner!More play ideas available!

Toss the foam game pieces into the pool. Choose a level of difficulty with the game cards (4 creatures between clams = easy; 6 = hard). 2. Draw a game card to learn your Seafood Sandwich challenge: The card shows the sandwich you'll race to build from bottom to top. Only one card is drawn per game. 3. The youngest player spins the spinner. The spinner must point to a clamshell to begin the sandwich. The player who spins the first clamshell can spin again to try for the next item - the first "filler" - in the sandwich. 4. If the spinner points to the next item needed or the wild-card space, the player uses the shell grabber (no hands!) to retrieve the filler and stack it on top of the sandwich pile. If the spinner points to anything else, play passes to the other player or team. 5. Continue playing until all the fillers are in place. The player or team who finishes the sandwich with the top clamshell wins!More play ideas available!
