Sea turtles are an amazing reptile and kids will love learning about them as summer begins. Sea Turtles have loving natures in your favorite movies like Finding Dory. They travel thousands of miles to reach their favorite nesting beaches to lay their eggs.
Only a small fraction of baby sea turtles make it to adulthood and everyone loves watching them climb out of their nests to find the big ocean.
They have to avoid birds and other predators as they get pulled out to the open ocean. They love eating seaweed and jellyfish, who wouldn’t love sea turtles? Use these sea turtle life cycle worksheets to see how they grow from an egg to an adult.
We love to learn all about the different types of animals that there are in the world and studying turtles is one of our favorites!
