World Turtle Day is celebrated annually on May 23rd to honour turtles and tortoises while raising awareness about their conservation. At Boddle Bath, we’re excited to join in the celebration with our eco-friendly practices and turtle-themed bath products that are perfect for families. Let’s dive into why turtles matter, some fun activities for kids, and how Boddle Bath brings sustainability to your doorstep.
Fascinating Turtle Facts to Share with Your Kids
Turtles are amazing creatures that have captivated humans for centuries. Here are some fun turtle facts that your little ones, aged 3–10, will find both entertaining and educational:
A Living Fossil: Turtles have been on Earth for over 200 million years—surviving even the dinosaurs!
Natural Navigators: Sea turtles can travel thousands of miles across the oceans, using Earth’s magnetic field as their compass.
Temperature Matters: The sand's temperature around turtle nests determines the gender of hatchlings—warmer sand produces females, cooler sand produces males.
Record Breakers: Turtles are longevity champs. Some species can live well beyond 100 years.
Kid-Friendly Turtle Activities
Celebrate World Turtle Day by creating lasting memories with your children through these easy and engaging activities:
Turtle Sculptures: Use Boddle Bath’s potato starch packing beads to make turtle-shaped creations. These beads dissolve in hot water, offering an eco-friendly way to play.
Ocean Awareness Crafts: Teach kids about the impact of ocean pollution by crafting jellyfish from discarded plastic, mimicking the dangers turtles face when mistaking trash for food.
Bath Time Fun: Try out our turtle-shaped bath bombs, perfect for turning an ordinary bath into an ocean adventure.
Boddle Bath’s Turtle Bath Bombs
Our turtle bath bombs are specially designed to delight children and adults alike. Made with vegan, cruelty-free ingredients, they add a burst of colour and fragrance to bath time while leaving skin feeling refreshed. They’re a great way to bring the World Turtle Day theme to life in your home.
Sustainable Practices at Boddle Bath
At Boddle Bath, we pride ourselves on being eco-conscious in everything we do:
Potato Starch Packing Beads: These biodegradable beads are not only fun for kids but also dissolve easily in hot water, leaving zero waste.
Recycled Paper Labels: We source all labels from Avery and reuse the backing paper as tray liners during our spray-painting process, reducing water usage by preventing mica residue on trays.
Small Batch Production: Every product is made in 4kg maximum capacity batches, ensuring we use minimal electricity in our mixer and scales, helping lower our carbon footprint.
Why World Turtle Day Matters
Turtles play a vital role in maintaining healthy ecosystems, from controlling jellyfish populations to transporting nutrients between the ocean and land. Unfortunately, they face threats like habitat loss, plastic pollution, and climate change. World Turtle Day encourages us to take action to protect these incredible creatures.
This World Turtle Day, let’s “shellebrate” by combining education, fun, and sustainability. Visit Boddle Bath to explore our eco-friendly products and celebrate turtles in style. Together, we can make a big splash in conservation!
